3. Selecting the source data. Click the down arrow next to “Select data type(s)”. This will present a list of the different Registrant types in your Visit Event. Select which types you want to import, and identify which type in Grip this should be directed too.
Note: Multiple Registrant types can be selected, however they can only be imported to one data type in Grip. If you require multiple types, each will need its own integration.

-
- 'From the last time Grip successfully retrieved records' is the recommended option for integration that will be scheduled to run repeatedly. This will look for any new or updated records.
- From a specific time period. This may be useful for one time updates, or if there is a set date range records need to be imported from,
4. This has now connected the MapYourShow Event to the Grip event, click next and move onto filtering and data mapping.
