Statsig Source
Good to know: Event Cloud source
The Statsig Source is an event 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.
Statsig helps companies safely A/B test features in production before rolling them out, avoiding product debates and costly mistakes when shipping out new features. Statsig serves all your experimentation needs with a unified platform that connects what you build with the impact you deliver. Statsig powers A/B tests and experiments on any device, in any part of the application stack, at any scale. Statsig gives you a comprehensive 360° view of how your product is performing.
The Statsig integration enables custom events and exposure events to be forwarded from Statsig to Segment without any additional work on the client — this is a pure server-to-server integration.
This is an Event Cloud Source which can not only forward data into your Segment warehouse, but they can also federate the exported data into your other enabled Segment Destinations.
This source is maintained by Statsig. For any issues with the source, contact their Support team.

Now that your Source is set up, you can connect it with Destinations.
Log into your downstream tools and check to see that your events appear as expected, and that they contain all of the properties you expect. If your events and properties don’t appear, check the Event Delivery tool, and refer to the Destination docs for each tool for troubleshooting.
