Efficient data handling is key to smooth operations - we are excited to unveil an updated design to give you more control and transparency in your data integration process with the introduction of editable integration pointers!
The Problem: Struggling with Continuous Data Retrieval
Event organizers often face challenges with data integrations that can be slow and cumbersome, especially when dealing with large datasets. Currently, our system retrieves all records every time an integration runs, which can be inefficient and time-consuming.
The Solution: Integration Pointers
Our new update introduces editable integration pointers, a powerful tool that marks where and when an integration last checked data. This means you can then retrieve only the records updated since the last check, significantly speeding up the data integration process. Pointers can take various forms, such as record IDs or timestamps, and while we've used them internally, they were not previously visible or editable by users.
What You’ll Love About This?
This enhancement isn't merely about making the system faster; it's about giving you unprecedented control and clarity. You can now manually input pointers to fetch data from specific sample records, show the last used pointer to make the next integration's start point clearer, and even remove pointers to restart the integration from scratch.
