Updating an existing advocate’s familiar name

This article covers GiveCampus campaign advocacy. Available controls depend on the campaign interface and enabled advocacy features.

Reupload the advocate using the same email and existing constituent_id, with the desired first_name and last_name. The advocate upload updates nonblank structured names on the matching school advocate; rows containing only an ID associate the advocate but do not update names. Preserve the existing ID: omitting or changing identity fields can change matching. Preview the advocacy email afterward; its name token uses advocate first name with fallback. This changes the school advocate record shared across campaign associations, not only a one-off email salutation.
