Events are sent to Firstparty from a specified Source, may trigger Rules, and then are sent to configured Destinations.
Sources
Sources define how Firstparty ingests Events. Firstparty will collect Events from the web browser through Javascript you install on your site, via an HTTP API, from a configured database or warehouse, or several other source types.

Events
Data sent to Firstparty is received as a series of Events. Each Event has an Event Type (things like "Page Viewed" or "Form Completed"), a Key that defines the Source the Event is sent from, timestamps, and Properties that may be set when the Event is sent.

Rules
When an Event is received, any Rules associated with the Event's specified Source are evaluated. If the Rule's Conditions evaluate as true, the Rule's Actions are executed.

Destinations
