What causes a record to re-export?

Records will be re-exported after a modification to ensure you have the most up-to-date information about your users.

Exports include all new or newly-modified information to ensure you have the most up-to-date information about your users. Modifications can happen on three record types:

  • Constituent (i.e. User)
  • Team
  • Transaction (i.e. Gift)

When one of these record types is modified, the date of the change is tracked to the Last Modified Date column,  and triggers the full record to be re-exported. On re-export, all IDs -- like User ID, Transaction ID, Import ID -- remain the same as when the record was first exported.

Transaction information will only re-export if a gift is modified in some way.

How can records change?

Records can be updated by an administrator fixing or changing data from the back-end (admin-triggered), by a constituent (user-triggered) or by the raisin data support team (special requests).

Here are a few common change scenarios under these conditions, when you can expect to see a record re-export:

When won't a record re-export?

Notably, not all changes will cause a record to re-export. Here are a few common change scenarios where the system will not modify and re-export a record:

  • Transaction is cancelled in full 
  • Participant's captain status is removed (Re-exports only when their Item is changed or team is changed)
  • Event or Group goal are changed
