What is a Connector Instance?

A connector instance is used to define the properties of a service that you want to enable using the JENTIS Data Capturing platform. Connectors, in this case, refer to partner networks and databases such as Facebook, Google Ads or Google Analytics. Additionally, a connector can also be a configuration for a custom endpoint that your JTM server needs to interact with. A configuration instance of a defined connector is referred to as a "connector instance configuration". You can have multiple configuration instances of the same connector in your JENTIS DCP, for example, "Google Analytics Europe" and "Google Analytics US" to cater to different configurations per region.

The most important wording in short:

• Connector: A service definition in JENTIS Data Capturing Platform, ie. “GA4”.

• Connector Configuration (or Connector Instance): A configuration of a connector in your account with a certain purpose, ie. “GA4 - website.com”. You can have multiple connector instances of the same connector configured in your account.
