Update the Engaging Networks / Raiser's Edge connector to allow mapping to the Origin Source field in Engaging Networks
There is a field in Engaging Networks called Origin Source which shows what caused someone to sign up to our mailing list. I would like to be able to bring this information from EN to RE, as well as push information from RE to EN if we are uploading new records).

Hi Sonia,
Thanks for your suggestion here. We are currently reviewing this idea. From our research it appears as though the Origin Source may only come from the Bulk Export API (which is what Omatic uses to pull data from Engaging Networks) on the transaction that created the constituent in Engaging Networks. I am trying to find more information about this. As a result, I want to confirm how you intend to use this field so we can be sure we are considering your use case.
Can you share when you intend to use this origin source data? Is this donation transactions or some other type of transaction that you are pulling from Engaging Networks that you hope to have this field available to use? Anything else you can share about your intent and intended use would be helpful.
Thanks again.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for your response. The Origin Source tells us what the first thing someone did in Engaging Networks was - what it was that caused them to sign up and support us.
I want to be able to add the origin source as a constituent attribute on someone's RE record. That way we can see how many people with X origin source, went on to donate or carry out other actions. We would therefore need this to be available through any transaction that had an origin source available to map - but mostly, donations, advocacy, email subscriptions and supporters transactions.
Thank you for looking into this.
Sonia
