Data Pipeline Management

Updated: Feb 2, 2025

Data pipelines represent the flow of data within your Signals Gateway, from receiving data from a data source, to sending it to a selected data destination.

You can manage your data pipelines on the Data pipeline page which includes creating, deleting, and updating your pipelines.

There are separate tabs on the Data pipeline page, one containing Signals Gateway data pipelines, and another that contains Meta Conversions API data pipelines. You can switch between these two tabs to see all of the data pipelines.
