June 2026

Week of June 8, 2026

Raiser's Edge NXT Integration

NEW! Every school on our native Raiser's Edge NXT integration can now import a broader set of constituent profile details automatically on a nightly basis. Data such as affiliations, phones, emails, addresses, class years, and custom fields can be automatically synced, unlocking better segmentation, outreach, and personalization without wrangling CSV imports. For more details and a full list of imported fields, see our GCU article.
The Blackbaud RE NXT integration settings page also got a refreshed look and now lives in a new menu location: School Dashboard > Integrations

Event Registrations API

The Event Registrations API (GET /api/event_registrations) now supports two new filters: event_ids (target specific events) and end (cap results by timestamp). Partners can now pull exactly the data they need instead of over-fetching from a start date.

May 2026

Week of May 25, 2026

Gifts API

The Gifts API now returns a payment_country field (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code) for card-based gifts. Useful for institutions building foreign gift compliance reports via the API. Returns null for ACH, PayPal, DAF, and Link.

Week of May 18, 2026

Raiser's Edge NXT Integration

Fixes NXT constituent matching for IDs containing backslash characters (e.g. 2025\131), which previously caused "Missing Constituent ID" errors during gift exports

Gifts API

Fixes Gifts API to return recurring subscription period and length in matching units — monthly pledges now return length as total months (e.g. 36) instead of years (3)

Week of May 11, 2026

GiveCampus API

The Recurring Subscriptions API now includes a custom_fields object within each subscription record. This exposes the same per-contribution additional fields already available in the Gifts API, allowing partners to receive discrete donor name fields (first_name, last_name) rather than only the concatenated payer_name.

April 2026

Week of April 13, 2026

Reporting - Online Giving

Fixed the deposit report "Charges Amount" to display the gross total of charges instead of the net deposit amount, making reconciliation straightforward.

Reporting - Events

Event deposit reports now include chargebacks (payment reversals) so the report row count matches the deposit summary header.

March 2026

Week of March 30, 2026

Custom Reporting - Events

Event custom report registration_last_modified and registration_last_modified_by_registrant columns now display timestamps in the event's timezone instead of Eastern Time. This applies to all three custom report types: registrations, activities, and guests.

Week of March 23, 2026

Gifts API

The Gifts API response now includes two new root-level fields: event_id and event_unique_identifier. Partners can use these to link a gift back to the event registration from which it originated, without having to cross-reference the Event Registration API manually.

GiveCampus API

API documentation has been updated to
- Clarify the asynchronous request lifecycle
- Fix incorrectly typed response schemas across all API documentation pages -- Response schemas for submission and results endpoints were displays as arrays in the documentation when the actual API returns a single object.

February 2026

Week of February 23, 2026

GiveCampus API

API documentation now includes separate object schemas for create, update, and read payloads across Contact Reports, Opportunities, and BBCRM Interactions endpoints. This makes it more obvious what fields are accepted on create versus update and what fields are returned in the results.

Secure File Transport Protocol (SFTP)

Organizations can now create multiple SFTP credentials enabling various teams to have their own separate SFTP credentials.

Week of February 9, 2026

Opportunities API

The Opportunities API now supports a opportunity_likelihood_name value when creating opportunities

Week of February 2, 2026

Data Import

NEW! Guided Import is a new AI-powered way to easily import your data into GiveCampus to power segmentation, personalized forms, Smart Ask Amounts, and more!

Automatically suggests how your CSV columns map to GiveCampus fields
No more typos - select fields from a list instead of hand-keying field names, reducing import errors
Custom fields - easily define custom fields for segmentation right in the flow
Automatic test imports - no need to upload a separate test file; GiveCampus automatically tests the first several rows before importing the full file

Learn more about Guided Import in GiveCampus University.

NEW! To help you understand what data is required and recommended, we've published a new Data Requirements interactive tool to show you the exact list of GiveCampus fields you should import. The tool also provides a downloadable CSV that you can share with your team. Bookmark this site for future reference! https://datarequirements.givecampus.com

GiveCampus API

Published a new BBCRM Interactions endpoint which enables organizations using Blackbaud CRM to manage interactions through the GiveCampus API

- registration_last_modified_at

January 2026

Week of January 26, 2026

GiveCampus API

The GiveCampus API docs no longer require a username/password to access.

Event Registration API

Linking edited registrations to original attendees - When registrants edit their event registrations, the updated data now includes a link to the original attendee. The API now includes new fields:
- initial_registration - For edited registrations, this contains the original registration's ID, state, and timestamps, allowing you to link it back to the original attendee
- additional_registrations - For original registrations, this contains an array of any subsequent edits made by the registrant
Visibility for removed activities - The API now includes a ticket object for both attendees and activities with the following fields, including a removed state to detect when an activity was removed from a registration:
- id - The ticket's ID
- state - The ticket state (incomplete, complete, canceled, removed, reserved)
- rsvp_state - The RSVP status (attending, not_attending)

Week of January 12, 2026

GiveCampus API

The Contact Reports API and Opportunities API now require a primary gift officer external_id and a primary constituent external_id.

Raiser's Edge NXT Integration

The "Receipt Amount" is now set to $0.00 for the fair-market value (FMV) portion of event registrations.

Week of December 8, 2025

Reporting - Online Giving

A new "All Gifts Report" is available which combines online gifts, offline gifts, matches/challenges, and adjustments into a single CSV download. This allows you to see comprehensive totals for your campaigns without running separate reports.

- An email address with primary = true will map to the Preferred Email field on the constituent record
- An email address with type = business will map to Business Email field on the constituent record
- An email address with type = other will map to Other Email field on the constituent record
- If multiple business or other emails are provided, the API will set the first one to the corresponding constituent fields

Constituents API

You can now update a constituent’s primary email address with a single API call to the Constituent v2 API. When your request includes an email where primary = true, the API will automatically unset any existing primary email(s) before marking the new one as primary. This removes the need for multiple calls and ensures the primary email is always correctly set.

Week of July 14, 2025

School-Level Data Importer

After importing updated cell phone data via the School-Level Data Importer, text conversation participant names are now automatically refreshed to reflect the latest information from the CRM.

Week of June 16, 2025

Now supports importing the Preferred First Name field in the Constituent - Biographical Data section which can be used as a merge token in GC Outreach emails.
