# Blackbaud CRM Integration - Field Mapping Reference

This article provides specific mapping details for the integration from Golden into Blackbaud CRM.

### Participant → Constituent

When a participant registers for an opportunity, Golden creates or updates a constituent record in Blackbaud CRM with the following field mappings:

**Golden** → **Blackbaud CRM**

- First Name → first\_name
- Middle Name → middle\_name
- Last Name → last\_name
- Gender → gender (mapped as: "male" → "male", "female" → "female", "nonbinary" → "other", empty/none → "unknown")
- Email → emailaddresses (with configurable email\_address\_type)
- Phone → phones (with configurable phone\_type, includes number field)
- Mailing Address → addresses (with configurable address\_type, includes address\_block, city, state, postcode, country)

Additionally, Golden creates:

- Alternate Lookup ID with the Golden Volunteer ID for easy cross-reference
- Volunteer record linked to the constituent with emergency contact information (emergency\_contact\_name, emergency\_contact\_phone)

### Opportunity, Timeslot → Volunteer Opportunity

Golden opportunities and timeslots are mapped to jobs and job occurrences in Blackbaud CRM:

**Opportunity → Job:**

- Opportunity Title + ID → name (formatted as "Title (OpportunityID)")
- Full Description → description
- Participant Rate → estimated\_value (converted from cents to dollars)

**Timeslot → Job Occurrence:**

- Opportunity Title + Start Date/Time → description
- Time Type → type ("ongoing" for flexible opportunities, "one time" for scheduled)
- Start Date/Time → start\_date, one\_start\_time (hour, minute)
- End Date/Time → end\_date, one\_end\_time (hour, minute)
- Maximum Participants → volunteers\_needed
- Participant Rate → estimated\_value
- Opportunity Location → location
- Day of Week → day\_of\_week (calculated from start date, or "every day" for ongoing/ranged opportunities)

### Registration → Assignment

When a participant registers for an opportunity, Golden creates an assignment in Blackbaud CRM connecting the participant with the job occurrence. When the registration is canceled, the assignment is deleted.

**Mapping:**

- Volunteer ID → volunteer\_id
- Start Date → date
- Job Occurrence ID → job\_occurrence\_id (nested in assignments array)

### Registration → Timesheet

When a registration is marked as completed, Golden creates a timesheet in Blackbaud CRM to reflect the hours completed.

**Mapping:**

- Volunteer ID → volunteer\_id
- Job Occurrence ID → job\_occurrence
- Hours Completed → hours\_worked
- Start Date → start\_date
- End Date → end\_date
