Automated data room insights retrievals
1. Purpose
Automatically sync investor engagement data from Anduin Data Rooms to the customer’s DealCloud CRM - giving teams real-time visibility into actionable insights and enabling faster, more informed decisions.
2. Key Benefits & Features
- Real-time investor tracking — automatically capture every key activity across the data room lifecycle, including when an investor is invited, joins, views, or downloads a document.
- Flexible event filtering — choose which investor activities to track, so your CRM only receives the signals that matter to your team.
- Historical data backfill — on the first run, the integration imports past investor activity based on the Initial Backfill Period (Days) you configure, so your CRM is populated from day one.
- Hands-off automation — eliminate manual data entry by having investor engagement data flow directly into DealCloud without any repetitive admin work.
3. Potential Customer Personas
- Any Data Room customer using DealCloud as their CRM.
- Especially helpful for firms with high investor activity and multiple data room participants.
4. Prerequisites
4.1 Third party app requirements

- LastActionAt: Timestamp of that most recent activity
- FileID: The internal unique ID of the specific file the investor interacted with
- FileName: The name of that file
- Viewed: Total number of times this file has been viewed by the investor from backfill’s date to today
- LastViewedAt: Timestamp of the most recent view event on this file
- ViewAccumulated: Total number of times this file has been viewed by the investor
- ViewDurationAccumulated: Total time (in seconds) the investor has spent viewing this file
- Downloaded: Total number of times this file has been downloaded by the investor from backfill’s date to today

4.2 Anduin app requirements
- Data Room access - the user must either:
- Have admin access to the intended data rooms, or
- Know a team member with admin access who can grant the necessary permissions during setup
- Data sync logic
- Initial Run - On the first run, the integration queries and pushes all investor engagement activities that fall within the time window defined by the Initial Backfill Period (Days) configuration. This is a one-time operation that runs immediately after installation.
- Subsequent Runs - After the initial run, the integration operates in real-time — automatically pushing data whenever an investor is invited, reminded, or performs an activity (viewed or downloaded a document).
