Add calendar year totals fields to CiviCRM & export ? some? of them to silverpop
Closed, ResolvedPublic4 Estimated Story Points

Description

There used to be a series of Y/N fields in the Silverpop export for is_YYYY_donor, one for each year we'd been fundraising. I don't necessarily need one for every year, but we're looking to do much more advanced segmentation of our donor list this year based on giving history, and it would be great if I didn't need to write sql in order to pull these lists. Having these fields for is_pre2014_donor, is_2014_donor, and up would be so helpful.

We removed these fields because the export job was liable to time out. How much flexibility do I have to add data back in?

Thanks!

CCogdill_WMF raised the priority of this task from Medium to High.Feb 15 2019, 10:35 PM

Hi, I'm changing this task to High priority because the topic of increased email segmentation has been brought up numerous times by Lisa and other managers as a way for us to grow revenue in the future. The kind of segmentation they're talking about is totally dependent on us having these fields available in the database. Can we please add these fields back?

This is a duplicate task. I'm not sure how to merge them: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T105254

I think this task may end up being related: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173538

DStrine moved this task from Sprint +2 to Sprint +1 on the Fundraising-Backlog board.
DStrine subscribed.

I closed T105254 and moved this back to Sprint+1. We'll look at it first thing next week.

We met today and discussed making the fields numerical rather than Y/N, which is good! We talked about the benefits of including the native amount rather than USD, but after considering that further, I've changed my mind. Supporting the native amount would just require too many fields and it would make the data harder to work with.

Here's all I need:

  • Data for donations in 2014 - 2019
  • USD only is fine
  • Calendar year preferred over FY (email campaigns don't happen at the same time every FY so it's a trickier metric)

I think those are my only specifications. Let me know if I missed anything!

I've noticed the number of rows imported to IBM nightly has decreased over the last two days. It's only about 5k rows smaller each day, but that's an odd phenomenon. Is it because someone is working on this task?

Guessing it's because of the job @Eileenmcnaughton just re-enabled to bring undeliverable data back from Silverpop into Civi. If that job marks an address as on_hold, it won't be exported.

Okay that makes sense. Should we be seeing the unsubscribes file grow
proportionately? Is there any amount of variance we should flag?

I think my checks when I turned it on were that there were about 400k to process - if it's only doing 5000 per day we should probably speed it up

Here is the query of how many are still to process

select count(*) FROM civicrm_mailing_provider_data WHERE event_type IN ('Opt Out', 'Reply Abuse', 'Suppressed')  AND is_civicrm_updated = 0;

Looks like there are LOTS to go - 4986118

5000 per day lines up with what we're seeing. Thanks, that makes sense!

@CCogdill_WMF we just added a 0 to the number to be processed per run - so it should speed up a bit now

Hey all,

Bumping this task! Segmentation by donation history is a big priority for next FY so I need these fields before October--ideally sooner so we can use it to plan our send schedule.

Thanks!

@MNoorWMF ccing you so you can help me implement this when ready! :)

[wikimedia/fundraising/tools@master] Add 2018_2019_total & 2019_2020_total to silverpop export

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/514416

@CCogdill_WMF I just put up a patch for review but it will require you to add 2 new fields to Silverpop

2018_2019_total,
2019_2020_total

However, re-looking at this it seems you wanted something about what (would have been then) pre_2014 _donor.

Major gifts have requested we add a calculated 'first donation' field - would having that in conjunction with the 2 fields above meet that need?

Also note - the 2 years are hard coded - at some point we'd need to add in 2020-21. I thought about not doing that but I feel like we should make it cleverer in conjunction with our eventual re-write to reduce the volume of change we transfer (based on contact.modified_date)

Er, weird! I sent this reply via email yesterday morning but it looks like it didn't post:

Great, Eileen! I wonder if it's possible to show this data as calendar year rather than fiscal year, though? Our fiscal year is pretty meaningless to donors. Saying, "In 2018-2019, you gave $5" sounds pretty funky.

We already have first_donation_date / first_native_amount fields in our database so no need to add that! We could probably use that field rather than the pre_2014_donor field, though--good point. No need to add that either.

@DStrine @Ejegg we only grab fiscal due to MG requirements - we could add calendar year when we add extras for MG?

Hey @Eileenmcnaughton did this get deployed during the maintenance on
Monday?

@CCogdill_WMF not the outage was pushed to tomorrow as it was going to cause Moska problems

@CCogdill_WMF you'll need to create fields in silverpop for them to go to - the calendar fields are all named like 'total_2018' etc - there are other fields we are adding in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T222958#5323233 which we can also push to silverpop if you want

Thanks for asking! It would be great to have some of those endowment
fields, too. These would be great to start with:

  • Endowment last donation date
  • endowment first donation date
  • endowment number of donations

The endowment amount fields would be great, too, but unfortunately aren't
much use to us if they're all converted into USD.

@CaitVirtue @NNichols has asked that some of the totals that previously excluded Endowments now include them - notably

last donation date
last donation amount (original & usd)

I think at the moment we are just re-calculating these things in the silverpop export & all the totals you get include Endowments anyway.

However, in order to change those we should also change the 2 last currency fields to include endowments - ie you have been getting the currencies of the most recent non-endowment gift. My suspicion is that you didn't realise that & changing to 'currency of the last donation or either sort' will make more sense to you anyway

Oh huh I didn't realize that our totals were including endowment gifts. Can
we make it so that the non-endowment fields in the silverpop export are
just that--non endowment? We might get ourselves into some legal trouble if
our copy suggests that someone's last gift was to WMF when it was really to
the endowment... Why have these fields cross over when we can have two
unique fields?

oh - OK - so I should probably get you in on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T222958#5323233 & the discussion from there down - the including of Endowment in some fields is a request from @NNichols for segmenting - but better to discuss over there - I've updated the table to what I understand as the latest agreed
