# Data Ingestion for Journeys

> **Suggested reading**: [Events & Attributes](https://academy.useinsider.com/docs/events-and-attributes)

You can pass various events and attributes to the Insider Growth Management Platform based on the integrations and products you are using. Every event and attribute you pass to Insider via different integrations is stored in our database.

You can pass data to Insider from three different data sources:

- [Web-sourced data](/docs/architect-data-ingestion-methods#websourced-data)
- [App-sourced data](/docs/architect-data-ingestion-methods#appsourced-data)
- [Offline data](/docs/architect-data-ingestion-methods#offline-data)

## Web-sourced data

Your website can be a data source for Architect regarding the data Insider collects by default and the data you share with Insider through the integrations you implement on your website. Any data collected or shared can be used in [Web Push](https://academy.useinsider.com/docs/architect-web-push), [Email](https://academy.useinsider.com/docs/architect-email), [SMS](https://academy.useinsider.com/docs/architect-sms), [Call an API](https://academy.useinsider.com/docs/architect-call-an-api), and [Facebook Ads channels](https://academy.useinsider.com/docs/architect-facebook-custom-audiences) in your journeys.

You can implement integrations such as Insider Tag, Web SDK, and Event Integration, and create Lead Collection campaigns. Read more about [Web-Sourced Data Ingestion](https://academy.useinsider.com/docs/data-ingestion#web).

## App-sourced data

Your application can be a data source for Architect. You can use this data in basic app campaigns, cross-channel personalizations, omnichannel segmentation, and unification.

Read more about [App-Sourced Data Ingestion](https://academy.useinsider.com/docs/data-ingestion#mobile-app).

## Offline data

You can pass your offline data to Insider for various use cases (e.g., omnichannel segmentation, unification, etc.). To share such data, you can use the [Upsert User Data API](https://academy.useinsider.com/docs/api-reference-upsert-user-data) or [upload static segments](https://academy.useinsider.com/docs/data-ingestion#uploading-static-segments).
