+### What is the difference between a destination's Instance ID and Meta ID?
+The destination’s Instance ID is specific to a single destination within your workspace. The destination’s Meta ID, which is returned by the delivery metrics endpoint, identifies which integration you've set up. For example, if you had a `dev` Mixpanel (Actions) destination and a `prod` Mixpanel (Actions) destination, they would have the same Meta ID but two different Instance IDs.
