Product Updates

Facebook Integration

To support the new Facebook integration, a new transaction type was added to Luminate Online to track and filter donations processed by Meta Pay. The transaction type is "ONLINE_EXTERNAL".

Privacy Features

To support new Privacy features, the following improvements released:

The new REMOVED_DEIDENTIFIED active detail value in Luminate Online can return correctly by Luminate Web Services and is defined in the Enum/Wsdl.

You can query the new DEIDENTIFICATION_LOG in Luminate Web Services to retrieve the ConsID, Request Date, Date and Status, so you can tell when a constituent was deidentified. However, the constituent won't show up in incremental queries if the constituent is removed.

Privacy Opt Out fields were added to Luminate Web Services so you can pull data for the four new Privacy Opt-Outs for constituents: Sale of Data, Profiling, Targeted Ads, and Global Privacy Control.
