Gladly Source


Source Info
  • The Gladly Source is an Event Cloud source. This means that it sends data as events, which are behaviors or occurrences tied to a user and a point in time. Data from these sources can be loaded into your Segment warehouses, and also sent to Segment streaming destinations. Learn more about cloud sources.
  • This integration is partner owned. Please reach out to the partner's support for any issues.

Gladly(link takes you to an external page) is the only platform purposely built to help the world's fastest growing brands deliver radically personal customer service. Designed around people and not tickets, Gladly's all-in-one platform features every channel - from voice to SMS - natively built into a single UI, allowing agents to communicate seamlessly across all channels. Rated the #1 easiest-to-use customer service platform, Gladly is empowering brands of all sizes to deliver and scale exceptional customer and agent experiences and build brand loyalty.

The Gladly Source is an Event Cloud Source that can be used to track when your customers open or closed a conversation with an agent. Not only can you export data into your Segment warehouse, but you can also send the exported data into your other enabled Segment Destinations.

This source is maintained by Gladly. For any issues with the source, contact the Gladly Support team.
