About this update

This is a backend upgrade that will be automatically deployed to all customers

Align parameter mappings

The SEXTANT integration implemented various use cases around tablet fundraising and community fundraising. Various parameters were introduced in the RaiseNow Manager, that were specific to the SEXTANT integration. Over the years we have added other integrations and use cases. In that process, many of these parameters have been replaced by more generic versions.

This release provides a backwards compatible change to map both the SEXTANT specific legacy parameters as well as the newer generic parameters to the corresponding field in SEXTANT. The intend here is to make it simpler for third parties to leverage the RaiseNow integration across various target systems and customers.

In more generic terms:

  • For RaiseNow Manager, the convention stored_sxt__[parameter-name] should no longer be used. Use stored_crm__[parameter-name] instead.
  • For RaiseNow Hub, the convention sxt__[parameter-name] should no longer be used. Use crm__[parameter-name] instead.

Support PayPal on the new RaiseNow Hub platform

The RaiseNow Hub now support processing payments via a new PayPal integration. This release maps this payment method to the corresponding SEXTANT PaymentMethodUId.

SwissQR's raw_name & raw_address - replace \n with #

RaiseNow will concatenate raw_name & raw_address field into the AddressExtension field in SEXTANT. For line breaks, previous versions used \n. This was causing problems in SEXTANT. This release replaces \n with a #. Note that RaiseNow does not strip \n if the value is provided like that. But SEXTANT can deal with that case.
