Add fields to Altru connector (particularly Volunteer)
There is no import template available in Altru to import into a Volunteer record. This would be a gamechanger for our organization as we will have to manually enter and match volunteer data. We have the pathways set up in Omatic Cloud and we will not have enough data to warrant using ImportOmatic.
There are other fields that we have come across that would be helpful as well. I have not noticed any updates made to the Altru connector other than the move from OIC to Omatic Cloud. I am happy to share other fields that would be helpful if there are plans to add fields in the future.
Thank you!

Hi Jacky,
Thanks for the suggestion. Can you be more specific about which volunteer fields you would want to have included? In addition, you mentioned other data you would like to see available, can you share that information as well?
Thank you

Our institution hosts fundraising events and we use special events in Altru for the purpose of selling tickets and sponsorships online and tracking registrants. We need to add registrant attributes after constituents are already registered in the event. We worked with Blackbaud Support and confirmed that the only way to update registrant attributes in bulk is for the constituent not to be already registered in the event. If a constituent has already registered for the event the import will not work and the attribute will need to be added manually.
Omatic Support also confirmed that Omatic Cloud does not have the ability to import registrant attributes.
For our team, manually updating thousands of registrant attributes per event is not sustainable and we were looking forward to using them for prospect research, marketing, ROI and financial purposes.
