Summary

Release 1.7.0 is focused on expanding the scope of event participant data, pushing mass email messages and summary statistics, and publishing the omni gift payload.

The main improvements are:

• Additional participant field push: activity section selections
• Additional participant field push: NPS survey responses
• All new channel: Email Messages and summary statistics
• All new channel: the Omni Gift report

Security Changes

New permission sets:

alumniq__AlumnIQ_Giving_User - for VIEW access to the omni gift data

alumniq__AlumnIQ_Giving_Admin - for EDIT access to the omni gift data (not recommended to assign to users)

alumniq__AlumnIQ_Mail_Message_User - for VIEW access to the message stats data

alumniq__AlumnIQ_Mail_Message_Admin - for EDIT access to the message stats data (not recommended to assign to users)

We urge you to consult the Quick Reference table in the permission sets guide for details as well as the newly-added permission set assignment examples for even more detail on what to assign to whom and when.

New Objects

• IQ_Reference_List (for our managed lookups)
• IQ_Reference_List_Item (for our managed lookups)
• IQ_Mail_Message
• IQ_Omni_Gift
• IQ_Activity_Section

Details

1. Event participant field expansion

We’ve added IQ_Activity_Section as a new object and attach the Section selection to the IQ_Activity_Participant record when appropriate.

2. Event participant survey responses

For those of you who use AlumnIQ’s post-event survey utilities, we now push:

• npsCalculated
• npsPromoters
• npsPassives
• npsDetractors

per IQ_Event

We also are attaching:

• npsReponse (the score)
• npsNarrative (the free text)

to each responding IQ_Event_Participant where appropriate.

3. Mail Module Summary Data

The simplest description of this data is “the contents of the basic peformance report”. The more thorough one would also note:

• IQ_Mail_Message is a new object
• Subscription categories, Categories, Subcategories, and Tags are loaded and associated as proper references
• Linked Events are associated as proper references to IQ_Event objects for easy bidirectional navigation

What this does not do in this release is push individual recipient data including: attempted, opened, clicked, bounced, and/or unsubscribed data. We will address those (very large) payloads in a future release.

4. Omni Gift data

The omni gift payload is a rollup summary of all gift-related transactional activity across all AlumnIQ services including everyday events, signature events, our giving module, and our membership module. This transactional data is suitable for reconciliation, booking, and acknowledgement purposes as it only contains paid data for which you have a transaction to tie out against.

This omni gift payload is the same shape and content as the on-demand report retrievable from System > Reports > Omni Gift Report as well as via the API.

But even better: you can link directly from any donor who happens to be an event participant to the corresponding event participant record in AlumnIQ Sync – and similarly, see the gift (if any) on the IQ_Event_Participant record too!
