What is the "Source" column in the export of my contacts?

The Source column indicates how the contact was added to your account:

  • Import - a contact created via an import
  • Manual - a contact created indivdually via Add Contact option
  • Survey - a contact created as a result of a survey action
  • Preference Center - a contact created via sign up form or other preference center activity
  • [Integration Name] - a contact created via integration, such as Salesforce, MyDesktop, or your company's custom integration
  • Unknown - generally this indicates the contact was created prior to 1 Sep 2013, when this tracking feature became available
