> If a tool is not listed as a supported source in our [catalog](https://segment.com/catalog/){:target='_blank’}, then it is not possible to incorporate the integration within a Segment workspace out-of-the-box.

> Segment suggests that you create one source for each type of data you want to collect. For example, you might have one source for all of your website tracking and a different source for any mobile tracking. Creating one source per data type provides the following benefits:

> - Debugger ease of use - mixing libraries/sources on a single API key means you’re heavily reliant on filtering to actually test events

> - Flexibility sending data to different projects - if you want to have different warehouse schemas, analytics projects, etc, having multiple sources would create this separation
