Custom Source Integration with CustomerLabs
Pipe data from any system into CustomerLabs via a unique webhook URL — internal apps, niche SaaS, or proprietary backends — no native integration required.
How brands use CustomerLabs Custom Sources
Pipe Data From Any System Into CustomerLabs Without a Native Integration
- CustomerLabs generates a unique webhook URL for your custom source. Configure any system that sends a POST request with a JSON payload — internal CRMs, custom order systems, proprietary platforms, niche SaaS, or beta tools — and data flows in immediately.
- Map incoming fields to CustomerLabs properties (email, phone, event name, user attributes) once, and every record routes straight into identity resolution and downstream destinations.
Unify Custom Source Data With First-Party Profiles Via Identity Resolution
- Custom Source data doesn’t sit in a silo. It joins web events, CRM stages, and offline events under one identity-resolved profile per buyer, matched by email, phone, GCLID, fbclid, or device fingerprint.
- Downstream destinations receive enriched, unified signals automatically — not raw fragmented records.
Build Real-Time Event-Driven Pipelines Without Code or Middleware
- When a CustomerLabs segment changes, an audience updates, or a CRM stage transitions, outgoing webhooks fire instantly to any URL.
- Use Custom Source to ingest backend events, trigger Slack alerts, custom notification services, or backend workflows in real time. Event-driven architecture without managing infrastructure.

Any system that can send a POST request with a JSON payload. This includes internal CRMs, custom order systems, proprietary platforms, backend services, niche SaaS, beta tools, and apps without native CustomerLabs integrations.
Does Custom Source data go through identity resolution?
Yes. Custom Source data joins web events, CRM stages, and offline events under one identity-resolved profile per buyer, matched by email, phone, GCLID, fbclid, or device fingerprint.
How does Custom Source compare to Webhooks and Zapier?
Use Custom Source for direct connection to a system that can send POST requests, with field mapping handled in CustomerLabs.

Most brands use Custom Source for internal and niche systems, Zapier for SaaS apps, and Webhooks for full control.
