Create custom sources to track feedback from channels unique to your business - customer calls, conferences, user research sessions, or any other touchpoint.

## Creating a Custom Source

1. Navigate to **Account** → **Settings**
2. Click **Insights** → **Sources**
3. Click **Add Source**
4. Enter source details:
   * **Name** - Required (e.g., "User Interviews", "Conference Feedback")
   * **Website URL** - Optional (helps display favicon for easy recognition)
5. Click **Create**

**Events & Community**

* Social Media

**Internal Channels**

## Adding Website URLs

Include URLs for sources to:

* Display recognizable favicons
* Quickly identify sources at a glance
* Link back to the original platform

Example URLs:

* `https://discord.com` for Discord community
* `https://reddit.com` for Reddit feedback
* `https://typeform.com` for survey responses

<Tip>
  The favicon appears next to the source name throughout Stellar, making it easy to spot feedback from specific channels.

## Using Custom Sources

Once created, your custom sources:

* Appear in the source dropdown when creating insights
* Can be used in filters to view feedback by channel
* Show in reports to analyze channel effectiveness

## Managing Sources

In the Sources settings, you can:

* **Edit** source names or URLs
* **View usage** - See how many insights use each source
* **Delete** unused sources (insights keep the source name)

<Note>
  Stellar includes common sources like Email, Slack, and Support by default. Custom sources supplement these with your unique channels.
</Note>

## Best Practices

**Be specific** - "Customer Calls" is better than "Phone"

**Stay consistent** - Use the same source name across your team

**Add URLs** - Makes sources instantly recognizable

**Review quarterly** - Remove unused sources to keep the list clean
