Add Calendar Ticket questions and responses to Luminate Web Services

You can now pull Calendar Event Ticket Question responses into your connected system to collect the Calendar Event Ticket Question answers for this feature introduced in the Luminate Online 23.1.1 release.

TICKET_CLASS_QUESTION and TICKET_CLASS_RESPONSE are now available.

To gather this data, specifically mention these fields in your query. For example, use a query such as:

select CalenderTicketQuestion from CalendarEventTicketType and select CalenderTicketResponse from CalendarEventRSVP

Specify the fields for retrieving nested results. To return calendar event results alongside parent records, ensure the is_wildcard field is set to 'T' explicitly, such as in this example:

update query_table_components set IS_WILDCARD = 'T' WHERE component_name in ('CalendarTicketQuestion', 'CalendarTicketResponse');

Version 1.41 Release Notes

June 2023

The Luminate Web Services version 1.41 release includes infrastructure updates to support the new Facebook integration and Luminate Online privacy features, security enhancements, and resolved issues.

Product Updates

Facebook Integration

To support the new Facebook integration, a new transaction type was added to Luminate Online to track and filter donations processed by Meta Pay. The transaction type is "ONLINE_EXTERNAL".

Privacy Features

To support new Privacy features, the following improvements released:

  • The new REMOVED_DEIDENTIFIED active detail value in Luminate Online can return correctly by Luminate Web Services and is defined in the Enum/Wsdl.

  • The Contains Personal Information field was added to the Survey Question object in Luminate Web Services, so you can see which questions are marked as containing personal information when you query surveys via Luminate Web Services.

  • You can query the new DEIDENTIFICATION_LOG in Luminate Web Services to retrieve the ConsID, Request Date, Date and Status, so you can tell when a constituent was deidentified. However, the constituent won't show up in incremental queries if the constituent is removed.

  • Privacy Opt Out fields were added to Luminate Web Services so you can pull data for the four new Privacy Opt-Outs for constituents: Sale of Data, Profiling, Targeted Ads, and Global Privacy Control.
