# Create an Airship Real-Time Data Streaming Source

<Note>
  **Note:**

  *Refer to [Airship Real-Time Data Streaming Source](/articles/integrate-customer/airship-real-time-data-streaming-source) to know more about this source.*
</Note>

## Prerequisites

**Match the Airship Channel ID to Zeotap attribute** -

In addition to the Named Users, you can also match the Airship channel ID with the Zeotap attribute to enhance customer profiles in the Zeotap system. The following get method can be used to retrieve the Airship channel ID through our SDK from the Airship SDK:

```javascript Code theme={null}
UA.then(sdk => {
  sdk.getChannel().then(channel => {
    zeotap.setUserIdentities("Airship_Channel_id" : channel.id)
  })
})
```

<Note>
  **Note:**

  For more information about how to fetch the custom identities through Zeotap's SDKs, refer [here](/articles/sdks/web-js/api-reference#custom-identities).
