# Collect events
## Collect behavioral events from any source.



Krenalis lets you collect, validate, and process behavioral events from any digital touchpoint — websites, mobile apps, backend systems, and connected devices. All inbound events flow through a unified ingestion pipeline where Krenalis enforces consistent schemas, validates payloads, and enriches data when needed.

This ensures every event is well-structured, trustworthy, and ready for analytics, profile unification, and activation. With Krenalis, your entire stack receives a clean, centralized, and reliable event stream—no matter how many sources you integrate.

## How events work

1. **Collect events**\
   Events from your apps, websites, and backend systems are ingested using a Segment-compatible typed schema, ensuring consistent structure across all sources.

2. **Validate and enrich**\
   Incoming events are validated against your schema and automatically enriched with additional context, guaranteeing accuracy and completeness before they enter your pipeline.

3. **Load into your data warehouse**\
   Validated events are streamed in real time to your connected data warehouse, where they become immediately available for querying, reporting, and AI workloads.

4. **Activate your data**\
   Send clean, validated events to your SaaS tools to trigger automations, drive personalization, or power real-time user journeys.
