Under the section 'Only retrieve records that were created within the following period' (pointers), select one of the two options: 1. 1. '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. 2. 'From start time to end time' is the recommended option if you are trying to run an update and want to make sure all records are updated. The recommended start time would be when registration opened and the recommended end time would be today. 6. This has now connected the CDS to the Grip event, click next and move onto filtering and data mapping.  Recommended next steps : [Filter Data Feature ](https://support.grip.events/how-do-i-use-native-integrations?hsLang=en#Filter-data-feature) ### Pointers #### Pointer **Pointer type**: Last imported time **Pointer during preview (Filtering, Mapping, Preview))**: Yes **Check on creation time or update time**: Update time **Data type filtering**: Yes **Time window filtering**: Yes - [EVENT PARTICIPANTS](https://support.grip.events/event-participants?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Logging in](https://support.grip.events/event-participants?hsLang=en#logging-in) - [Managing your profile](https://support.grip.events/event-participants?hsLang=en#managing-your-profile) - [Networking on the platform](https://support.grip.events/event-participants?hsLang=en#networking-on-the-platform) - [Virtual events](https://support.grip.events/event-participants?hsLang=en#virtual-events) - [Exports](https://support.grip.events/event-participants?hsLang=en#exports) - [Event Exhibitors and Sponsors](https://support.grip.events/event-participants?hsLang=en#event-exhibitors-and-sponsors) - [GRIP ENGAGE](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Event Setup & Configuration](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#event-setup-configuration) - [Profile & Data Management](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#profile-data-management) - [Integrations & APIs](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#integrations-apis) - [Event Design & Branding](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#event-design-branding) - [Event Agenda](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#event-agenda) - [Event Engagement](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#event-engagement) - [Grip Support](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#grip-support) - [MustMeet](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#mustmeet) - [Mobile App Management](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#mobile-app-management) - [Insights & Reporting](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#insights-reporting) - [GRIP MANAGE](https://support.grip.events/grip-manage?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Grip Manage - Integrations](https://support.grip.events/grip-manage?hsLang=en#grip-manage-integrations) - [Grip Manage - Company Portal](https://support.grip.events/grip-manage?hsLang=en#grip-manage-company-portal) - [Grip Manage - Emails](https://support.grip.events/grip-manage?hsLang=en#grip-manage-emails) - [Grip Manage - Registration](https://support.grip.events/grip-manage?hsLang=en#grip-manage-registration) - [Grip Manage - Side Events](https://support.grip.events/grip-manage?hsLang=en#grip-manage-side-events) - [Grip Manage - LQT](https://support.grip.events/grip-manage?hsLang=en#grip-manage-lqt) - [Integrations](https://support.grip.events/integrations?hsLang=en) - [MustMeet](https://support.grip.events/mustmeet?hsLang=en) - [Event Organizers](https://support.grip.events/event-organizers?hsLang=en) - [Grip MCP](https://support.grip.events/grip-mcp?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Grip Organiser MCP](https://support.grip.events/grip-mcp?hsLang=en#grip-organiser-mcp) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.grip.events/hs-fs/hubfs/Grip-logo-512x512-light-1.png?width=24&height=24&name=Grip-logo-512x512-light-1.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.grip.events) Grip Help Center Copyright © 2025, Grip
