To send events to Tealium Collect and identify Data Connect events, use a Tealium Connect data source for each integration. Having a dedicated data source for each Data Connect integration makes it easy to see the related events in [Live Events](https://docs.tealium.com/about-live-events/). You can also configure connectors in Tealium EventStream or AudienceStream that process only Data Connect events.

For more information about data sources in Tealium, see [About Data Sources](https://docs.tealium.com/about-data-sources/).

We recommend setting one Tealium Connect data source per originating data source. For example, a Tealium Connect data source for Salesforce data and a separate one for Snowflake data, etc.
