There are many reasons that one of your clients may end up with multiple accounts from one data source provider like Google Ads, Google Analytics, or Facebook. NinjaCat created what we call "Mappings" in order to allow you to connect multiple instances of the same data source to one NinjaCat Client Account. "Mappings" allows you to name each of the instances coming in and keep them organized. Though, before you bring in those instances at the Account Level, you must have a Network created at the Agency Level. This article brings together information from articles on both creating Data Source Networks and Creating Standard Mappings in order to explain getting multiple instances
