# V1 Source Flows

> What are source flows?

Source flows are the simplest way to use hotglue, and the default flow type.
With a source flow, your customer connects the `source` or `tap`, and you read data in from those linked sources into your own default target.

Source flows utilize the [V1 API](/api-reference/v1/introduction)

## Examples

Common uses of Source flows include:

* Reading data from your tenants' CRM and writing to your own database
* Checking for accounting data updates in your tenants' ERP, and writing the updates to your system via a webhook

## Allowing your tenants to fork a target

In Source flows, data will default to being written to the target linked by the [default tenant](/key-concepts/tenants/default-tenant).
However, your tenants may want to write their data to their own accounts.

You have a tenant fork their own [linked target](/key-concepts/connectors/v1-targets/overview#what-is-a-linked-target) by:

* Using the [linked target endpoint](/api-reference/v1/linked-targets/link-a-target)
* Passing the `isTarget` option when linking via the widget
* Manually creating the linked target in the hotglue admin dashboard
