How to get specific responses from List gift custom fields

Amy Pierzchala

Hello All,

I have a list of gifts from the past day that have a gift custom field on the record. I need add the value entered into the custom field to my email report. How do take the “List gift custom fields” and get 1 custom field and the value entered in the custom field into my report? I can't figure out how to get this one value from the list for each gift in my larger list. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Sorry if I am not explaining this well ?

You can use the Get Gift Custom Fields for All Gifts and specify the Custom Field Category name (Gift Attribute Category name). Once you got back the information, you can use the “Filter” action in to filter the array returned for only those that have the Gift System ID you want.

You can also use the Get Gift Custom Field for a single gift, and get the custom field this way.

Which method depends on what you trying to do and how many gifts are you dealing with.

@Dan Snyder I followed the steps you outlined here (found this old thread while researching what I'm trying to accomplish, thank you!), and it worked for the first gift in my gift list, but the second gift in my list it didn't update the attribute. Do I need to reset something after each gift? I'm very new at this and assumed the array info would update each time a gift is sent through the for each function, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

@Laura Easterly
this depends on when you call what action to get data/info. some screenshot or a bulleted list of your action would help diagnose your issue.

Example:

• list gift
• condition on if there are gifts returned
  • if yes
    • apply to each gift
      • get this gift custom fields
      • get constituent
      • etc
    • send email
  • if no
    • nothing

@Alex Wong Thank you, you are always so helpful! In this case, it ended up being a weird RE glitch. It's run twice since then with no issues working exactly as how I anticiated.
