Is there any particular reason Blackbaud that the payload for the CloudEventsV10Event payload has suddenly changed!

From webhook monitor:

Constituent record changed

Received November 8, 2023 3:19 PM

Record ID None found.

{

"id": "2cc8d99d-ed75-41b5-a46b-3b8c76460bb4",

"specversion": "1.0",

"subject": "/environments/p-BpQJSmuJiE-0cngFPjnJaw"

}

From the documentation:

Constituent record changed

com.blackbaud.constituent.change.v1

Event data propertiesDescriptionData type
idConstituent record identifierstring
added_by_idIdentifier of the user who added the recordint
last_changed_by_idIdentifier of the user who last changed the recordint

All of a sudden our code broke because the data properties have changed case and changed format.

@Chris Rodgers Any thoughts?

    Hey, @David Zeidman. We had a deployment on Friday that updated some common eventing/messaging libraries. We're still looking into it, but I suspect that this inadvertently changed the serialization of the event data we publish and likely updated our tests as well to expect this serialization, so they didn't catch the change. We're actively rolling back the change, and you should see the former payload schema resolving in 5-10 minutes. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. We'll have a fix and update our tests to divorce them from this shared serialization issue so a similar change will be caught in the future.

    Update: We've completed the rollback. We apologize for the unexpected change. We'll put more safeguards in place to ensure this doesn't happen again.
