# Connect your data

Relevant insights start with having access to relevant data — and CorralData makes it easy to get started with any of your existing integrations.

## Connect

CorralData supports over 500 integrations from many popular platforms and databases. If your data exists in the form of a file that needs to be integrated, we can also pull it in via our Google Sheet, Google Drive, or OneDrive integration.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Is there a missing integration? Drop a line to <support@corraldata.com> and we'll see if we can get it added for you.
{% endhint %}

## Data syncs

Depending on your plan, CorralData allows you to sync your data in almost real-time, but we default to a nightly sync to ensure all of your prior day's data is available in the morning. Your initial sync can take a few minutes to a few days, depending on how much data we are syncing. You'll receive a notification from the platform as soon as your data is done syncing.&#x20;

### Connector statuses

As each connector authenticates, it moves through three statuses:

| Status    | What it means                                                   |
| --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Connect   | Connector created, first sync not started yet                   |
| Syncing   | Data is being pulled from the source                            |
| Connected | First sync is complete and your data is available in CorralData |

> If a connector stays on Syncing for more than a few hours, or a connector card doesn't respond when you click it, reach out to <support@corraldata.com>.

## Reverse ETL / Using CorralData as a CDP

CorralData also allows you to set up a bi-directional sync with an existing platform (i.e., your ad platform, email platform, SalesForce, or database). Setting up Reverse ETL via CorralData allows you and your team to write data to one of your existing platforms so you can leverage it to drive campaigns, emails, and generally keep your data in sync.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.corraldata.com/kb/getting-started/quickstart.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
