Youbora Source
Source Info
- The Youbora 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 Source is supported in US data processing regions.
This Source is only supported in workspaces configured to process data in the US region. Workspaces configured with data processing regions outside of the US cannot connect to this source. For more information, see Regional Segment.
Youbora is the most advanced and holistic suite of integrated video analytics and business intelligence for broadcasters, OTTs, telcos and media companies to help you make data-driven, business, operational and technical decisions to drive performance and maximize revenue across your entire video service.

Youbora maintains this source. For any issues with the source, contact the YOUBORA Support team.
This document is about a feature in beta
This means the feature is actively being developed, and some functionality may change before it becomes generally available.
Adding Youbora as a Source to Segment will allow you to use YOUBORA data with other Segment collected data.
These events can be passed to your Segment Destinations like data warehouses and analytics tools. Joined with data from other marketing programs, you can start telling a unified story of each customer's journey and tailor your reporting to the KPIs that matter most.
- From your Sources page in Segment, click Add Source.
- Choose Youbora.
- Click Connect.
- Give the Source a nickname. The nickname is a label used in the Segment interface.
- Copy the Segment write key for Youbora from the Overview page.
- Contact your Youbora representative to enable the event-source with the write key provided.
- Click Save.
- From your Segment account, click into your Youbora source and you will be able to add other downstream Destinations where you want to see the Youbora auto-tracked events.
Youbora auto-tracked events will send to Segment and any other destinations that you've enabled.
Youbora uses our stream source component to send events to Segment. These events are then available in any destination that accepts server-side events, including your data warehouse.
For now, Youbora is sending all the auto-tracked events as Youbora Event.

Now that your Source is set up, you can connect it to destinations.
Log in to your downstream tools and check to see that your events are populating and they contains all the properties you expect. If all your events and properties are not showing up, refer to the destination docs for troubleshooting.
If you experience any issues with how the events arrive in Segment, contact the YOUBORA team.
Youbora will only send in events that have a value for a userId. You must send in the same value for userId to Youbora as you send into Segment.
