## Event Context

Source Created events occur when a new source is successfully created via the API or the Admin UI. Some uses cases for this trigger include the following:

- Provide evidence to show auditors connector logic and sources are not manipulated outside of proper change control processes.
- Auto-configure new sources with proper owners using external data sources.

This is an example input from this trigger:

```json
{
  "id": "2c9180866166b5b0016167c32ef31a66",
  "name": "Test source",
  "type": "DIRECT_CONNECT",
  "created": "2021-03-29T22:01:50.474Z",
  "connector": "active-directory",
  "actor": {
    "type": "IDENTITY",
    "id": "2c91808568c529c60168cca6f90c1313",
    "name": "William Wilson"
  }
}
```
