Monday Features
Hi everyone,
Welcome to the next installment of our Monday Features at Mapping Clarity! Today, I’m excited to walk you through Custom Targets and officially launch our new Excel script.
With Custom Targets, you have three setup options: List & Definitions, List, or Pattern. For today’s demonstration, we are using List & Definitions, which allows you to upload a custom list of codes alongside their specific definitions. (Stay tuned—I’ll be covering the other two types in upcoming Monday posts!).
How the Workflow Operates: In the video above, you’ll see me upload a custom definition into Mapping Clarity, which takes just a couple of clicks. This target is then added to a Pipeline. Pipelines are incredibly useful if you want to include multiple targets as part of a single processing job.
Once the pipeline is set up, I split my sample data into two batches:
The Training Batch: The first lot consists of samples pre-filled with the correct answers. This is sent to Mapping Clarity so the system can learn from it for future runs.
The Processing Batch: The remaining 800 rows are then processed. Mapping Clarity uses both the uploaded list of definitions and the training samples to categorize the data.
The result? The 800 rows are accurately mapped in about 40 seconds.
Creating a Transparent Feedback Loop: It is incredibly important to us that Mapping Clarity is never a "black box." When the system returns your mapped results, it also provides a confidence score and a reason. This ensures you always understand exactly why Mapping Clarity categorized the data the way it did.
If you need to make corrections, you can quickly adjust them using our new Excel script. These adjustments are then sent right back into Mapping Clarity. The system learns from your corrections for future processing, creating a seamless, highly accurate feedback loop.
Ready to try it out? You can download the new Excel script directly from our GitHub: https://github.com/Mapping-Clarity/scripts
As always, if you have any questions or want to discuss your specific data needs, please do not hesitate to reply to this email or contact me directly at hello@mappingclarity.com.
Best regards,
Andrew

New
We are thrilled to announce the immediate availability of the Mapping Clarity Public API.
This new release opens up our powerful mapping engine to developers, allowing you to integrate our classification capabilities directly into your own applications, workflows, and data pipelines.
Build Smarter Tools For Your Customers
By programmatically accessing Mapping Clarity, you can automate complex categorization tasks in real-time. We designed this API to support high-value use cases, including:
Automated Budgeting Tools: Ingest raw bank statement line items and automatically map them to precise budget categories. This enables you to build personal finance or business budgeting apps that categorize transactions instantly, without manual user input.
Standardized Benchmarking: Automatically map General Ledger transaction items from different charts of accounts into standardized benchmarking categories. This allows for accurate, "apples-to-apples" financial comparisons across different entities or companies.
Getting Started
Access to the API is managed via API Keys, which can now be generated directly within the platform.
How to generate a key:
Log in to Mapping Clarity.
Navigate to the Tenant Admin menu at the top of the screen.
Select API Keys from the dropdown or sidebar.
Click Create API Key to generate a new token.
Note: You can view, manage, and revoke your active keys from this dashboard at any time.
Documentation
Full technical details, endpoints, and request examples are available in our Developer Documentation.
Happy Mapping! The Mapping Clarity Team
