This table imports the current CIPC Enterprise Status, the customer code that submitted the last annual return, the last Annual Return Filed, as well as the list of directors.

Switching on the feature
To switch on this feature, click on Settings at the bottom left of your navigation, then go to My Plan. If you do not see this, you are not the account owner and you need to ask the DataGrows account owner to switch on the service.
Next, click on Change Plan and check the CIPC Extension Module checkbox.
Using the feature
To bring in details from CIPC:
Go to the CIPC Annual Returns table in the CIPC Department.
Select the client record you want to update by checking the checkbox to the left.
Then click on Actions - Update CIPC AR Details.
This will open our extension to the right of your screen.
Click on the burger menu and then on CIPC.
Follow the steps listed in the extension.
It's going to ask you to log into e-services. This is not person-specific; it is a general enterprise search. So it doesn't matter whose code you log in with. It's available to anyone in the world who has the registration number for your clients.
After completing the steps, the CIPC Annual Returns table in DataGrows will be populated with the CIPC Enterprise Status, Last Annual Return Submitted, as well as the code of the person who submitted it.
It will also show as updated in the extension
After the record has been updated, you can go to the CIPC Enterprise Details table under Integrations. Here you will find the information that was imported during the update by clicking on any record.
You can update the client in DataGrows with this information by checking the checkbox to the left of the CIPC Enterprise Details table, then going to Actions - Update Client. This is a great way to add any information that was outstanding when you onboarded the client.
