Today
Yes @MRitch-WMF has worked on this area. Megan do you mind reviewing with the team in January? Thank you
Mon, Nov 24
@Lars The team reviewed the new Civi Segments+Status and came back with a couple of questions. FYI @JMando
and @IAckerman-WMF
Thu, Nov 20
Hi @Lars - My request in Slack is to have this confirmed with Eileen or Brian as they are aware of the rules in Civi of how the MSL works.
I am not that close to how the logs and rules have been set up technically.
Tue, Nov 18
@Lars This is very helpful.
Nov 4 2025
Thanks, this sounds good to me.
Oct 30 2025
Do we need the Cancel in there if donors manage it through PayPal? The screen shared has cancel as single CTA and I find that risky
Oct 28 2025
Noted. Thank you
Oct 20 2025
@Lars Thanks for sharing that information. I still see the need to be able to tag as recurring any Major Donor or Mid Tier donor giving as a recurring donation.
So this is a change that is needed. I am talking to Joseph tomorrow about a few changes needed in the framework, and I'll mention this too.
Oct 17 2025
@Lars I believe this needs some clarification as we were operating under the assumption that we could see status 2 assigned to all segments. Not for targeting but for file analysis. So now I am confused on how this works and how it reflects in the framework page (as we assume a hierarchy from top to bottom)
https://civicrm.wikimedia.org/civicrm/wmf-segment
Let's have a follow up call. Thank you
Oct 16 2025
@Lars I'd say we should confirm that point - please have a look at how it was set up for monthly recurring statuses.
Also, we need to make sure that 2-4-6-8 only apply WHEN donor segment is 400 (monthly)
Oct 15 2025
@Lars For the Lapsed Annual Recurring = The recurring plan was canceled within the last 13 months OR The last successful payment was within the last 13 months
Shouldn't it be 4 to 13 months? So that it doesn't overlap with Delinquent?
Oct 13 2025
Thank you @Ejegg It looks good now - please confirm that it will be set to send to annual recurring donors 15 days prior to their installment.
Oct 6 2025
Thanks
@AKanji-WMF Is it possible to receive a test email? I need to see SL, and all the email components. Appreciate it!
Sep 30 2025
Thanks I see it now, copy looks good but the Annual version needs to link to the donate.wiki with Annual pre-selected (I currently see Monthly pre-selected).
@Ejegg I see the monthly version is all good, but the annual version the copy is not updated yet. I'll wait for your confirmation when edits are done. FR Online does not edit this piece as far as I'm aware, @Cstone let us know. I can check with the team if support is needed, as we will need this localised (Tomasz does that for other pieces) Thanks
These failure emails have traditionally been updated by Christine if I'm not wrong - we talked to her for example about the second failure email. So not sure if the process has changed there.
Sep 29 2025
Thanks @Ejegg for this. I'm adding @RLopez-WMF as he might be able to help with the logo
@Ejegg Once fixed, would you mind sending me a test email or forwarding yours? I'll need to share it with the team too as this is such an important piece.
Appreciate it!
Hi @Ejegg I've requested the copy update to the Content team, they'll review and share it once done.
Sep 26 2025
Good news. It's good to have it in place for the first annual gift renewals in Nov-Dec
Hi @Ejegg and @AKanji-WMF - just a small note that we need to introduce small changes to the copy, I'll share next week. Apologies for this!
Sep 19 2025
Yes, this was done a while back.
Sep 18 2025
Sounds good
Sep 15 2025
Thanks @Ejegg for the update, appreciate it
Sep 9 2025
Hi all, I wanted to add here a note about an additional recurring dononr_status or gift status that we might need to add to cover 'paused' functionin the donor portal.
Thanks FYI @KHill-WMF @AKanji-WMF
Sep 8 2025
Hi @Ejegg Jumping here to confirm if Autorescue is back being active or in progress. Thanks!
Sep 4 2025
I would match the backend to the donor facing reasons as per the list below. FYI @AMJohnson
Sep 3 2025
Hi team, do you have timelines for this? Please bear in mind that we need a QA step so I would suggest September 30 as deadline for first test email.
FYI @AKanji-WMF
Aug 29 2025
Aug 27 2025
Thanks all - if this is doable and we get to the right rules we need, I see this as a possible part of next year's audience framework enhancement. Let's discuss!
Hi @MRitch-WMF and @Lars Thanks for working on this. I wanted to share this [[ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ex71O8Xh1LqI_fY-AHX9wF-glmcqxc-j1tGflFwVcjo/edit?gid=1402492694#gid=1402492694 | Acoustic wishlist ]]that the Audience team put together. Some of these criteria are included, @MRitch-WMF it might be good to review and update as needed. Thanks
FYI @AKanji-WMF
Aug 26 2025
You are correct. I also recommend removing the 'Other (please specify)' unless we have the right mechanisms (e.g. AI) to analyse open answers on a regular basis
Hi @AKanji-WMF and @Eileenmcnaughton As we start sending Email 1 in Big English, I want to flag this one as urgent so a QA is done to the audience framework, in case there is a bug affecting our segmentation. Thanks
Aug 23 2025
Just hoping we go the safe way as all of this affects our Big English campaign. Let's check in if needed, we do need that lapsed status for annual recurring but we can find options. Thanks
Aug 13 2025
Thanks
Aug 7 2025
Thanks!
Aug 1 2025
Thanks Elliott! Great reminder.
Jul 31 2025
I would send it to the full list - we have lost many and just one email does not ensure re-activation. Thanks
Jul 29 2025
Hi all - Do we have a timeline for this send to the 6k? It'd be optimal to get it out asap.
Jul 23 2025
@krobinson @Ejegg @AKanji-WMF Adding all here to review and reach an agreement.
The risk here is that donors might then be flagged as delinquent and it can cause issues down the line.
I agree that we don't want to bill donors 2x in a month, but we need to find a solution and proper tracking of how many were not billed, how many we will retry, and when.
This all impacts our revenue tracking and subsequent decisions. Not having 1) visibility on figures 2) a quick troubleshooting solution is not ideal either.
@Ejegg Is FR Tech to manually retry the 21k that failed in June and July? It is important to go back and retry those that failed due to this bug. Please confirm
@Ejegg Will this fix +21k failed validation recurring from June and July? That is an important amount so trying to understand what will happen to those donations
Jul 22 2025
If I'm not wrong we wanted to start categorising mailing events (e.g. cultivation, solicitation). I see you authored this task, was this after a conversation with Natalie or Catilin? If not recall, let's wait for us to meet and will come back to you
@Eileenmcnaughton Do you need us to support determining the tags?
Jul 17 2025
@AKanji-WMF In view of the no-email window needed for this, could we look at 2-3 days in July or August with Noah? (I can't find his handle in phab)
Thanks
Jul 8 2025
@AKanji-WMF pinging here as related to this https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379751 and this https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T393432
So we are on track
Jun 25 2025
Pinging @JMando and @IAckerman-WMF for QA too
Jun 23 2025
Thanks @AKanji-WMF We need to have it tested and up and running by October, before any annual recurring is charged.
Jun 18 2025
Hi team, I want to kick off work with Content team for this piece. Do you have a timeline for this? Thanks
@AKanji-WMF @Eileenmcnaughton Hi Anil and Eileen, do we have a timeline on this? Thanks!
May 14 2025
See also conversation here https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T393432
Adding a note that if Acoustic is the way to go, we need to review if annual_recurring_DATE is available or create the field. Linked to this https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T393432
May 7 2025
Adding @Cstone - please let's prioritise this investigation for active recurring.
May 6 2025
Apr 8 2025
Thanks @EMartin -- we all would agree that preferably we would start FY2526 with the migration completed. Open to what FR Tech reports on.
A pending question I have: I need to connect our team with FRU team. @AKanji-WMF who is managing this process? Let me know who and I will send an email to Michael in FRU.
Mar 28 2025
@AKanji-WMF
There are a few requests and questions open around this (from Slack convo)
- Review discrepancies identified by the audience team when applying the framework (e.g. New tag vs first gift)
- Review additional discrepancies identified by Joseph upon pulling audience data
- last source criteria in Acoustic status
- Audience team will brief new criteria to add to Acoustic (for annual recurring, direct Mail, etc) in April (we are meeting next week to finalize a list to share with FR Tech for review)
Thanks
Mar 26 2025
Thanks, makes sense. @NNgu-WMF do you mind adding this to our Agreements tab for targeting and as a learning/reminder at the top in the Upgrading Year 2 data brief? Thanks
Mar 24 2025
Mar 18 2025
That makes sense, although bear in mind that we are applying some of those reasons in the reactivation series.
@krobinson Let's discuss this - both it being editable and also the reasons that will be added. Thanks
@MRitch-WMF Tagging you here as we discussed yesterday. We should find the way to identify the White Mail coming from Online audiences. FYI @Eileenmcnaughton
Mar 17 2025
Thanks @Cstone for looking into this.
Please let the Email team if this is a coding fix needed so we can record it for next upgrading activities.
Mar 5 2025
@Ejegg Just flagging in case there's a bug, I get this error (and I'm an Adyen donor, with U.S. under address) cid=34846954
Mar 4 2025
Hi @Damilare and @AKanji-WMF - may I ask if this is fixed now? Thanks
Hi @Ejegg The 'Close this page' can still go to the original cancel page and create the CiviCRM activity. Thanks for checking
Feb 26 2025
Hi @Ejegg Sharing that we would need this landing page link updated to share with the email team by March 5 (next week). Please confirm once done so myself or @NNgu-WMF can QA and provide to the email team.
Thanks
Feb 18 2025
Adding the TY pages here for reference and to be linked as needed:
Jan 22 2025
@AnnWF Hi team, do we have a timeline around when the Email preference center will be used in operational emails? Or is it already in use? I didn't see it in the annual receipts.
Thanks
Jan 15 2025
Hi team - could I ask where we are at with this task?
Our intention is to mitigate cancellations due to maximum failures reached and this second email would help us with some recovery.
Thanks
Jan 10 2025
Thanks - I was under the impression that we now have an API connection that allows for more streamlined work on Acoustic fields.
I'll work with @MRitch-WMF on needs for DM channel and we can follow up on the needs we foresee.
Side note: we will be doing this for Annual recurring (statuses and fields) in prep for our call with you @Eileenmcnaughton on Jan 21
Hi @Eileenmcnaughton Coming back to this task.
Looking at the Acoustic criteria and reviewing this task, how can we exclude and target Direct Mail donors in Acoustic without using lists? We might either need to create a directmail_donor = Y/N, as this phab task only applies to last gift source.
FYI @IAckerman-WMF @MRitch-WMF @NNgu-WMF
Dec 18 2024
Next steps are completing reporting, so no asks from FR Tech.
Dec 12 2024
@NNgu-WMF Adding Natalie in case she can help
Dec 11 2024
@AKanji-WMF Thanks. Please add me if needed for input.
Dec 10 2024
@AKanji-WMF Just checking on this > is this task moving forward or on hold?
Dec 4 2024
Adding Approval for the record
@Dwisehaupt
Sounds good - @AKanji-WMF
Nov 28 2024
Noting here that @NNgu-WMF already uploaded the file to Acoustic and we will be using it for targeting and exclusions.
We'll monitor this task to be aware when the Acoustic criteria pertaining to DM are active to be used instead of lists.
Nov 20 2024
Yes, we need those 2 criteria to target and segment
Nov 19 2024
This is helpful, thanks both!
Nov 18 2024
Hi @Eileenmcnaughton
I checked on Acoustic and seems like the most_recent_cancel_reason field is populating, with 40k records showing it.
But when I try to apply one of the reasons above, it goes down to 0. I need to be able to apply it and exclude 3 of the reasons noted (financial reasons, unintended, duplicates) to the automated series for reactivation I'm working on. Could you explain how to apply those into this criteria?
Thanks
Nov 15 2024
Hi all
Nov 14 2024
Thanks for this update. I will need to implement exclusions in the upcoming recurring reactivation email series
@Eileenmcnaughton will you ping me when this is good to use?
I have requested the file of contacts IDs with mail receivers, I'll ping here once they drop it in the FTP.
Nov 13 2024
Hi @Eileenmcnaughton - @MDemosWMF and I were talking and thought we'd share the updated appeal codes being added to Civi soon.
@Eileenmcnaughton Thursday at that time I have a doctor appointment, I could meet Friday or Monday. Thanks for checking!
Nov 12 2024
Hi @Eileenmcnaughton I'm looking at my notes (for the call we missed yesterday --open to reschedule at the same time on Thursday), and I had a point I wanted to share with you:
while you work on this cancellation dropdown in Acoustic, is there an option to also have a reason named as 'passively lapsing' for those recurring donations cancelled due to failed cards, other non intentional reasons?
@Eileenmcnaughton Jumping in here - I would suggest option 1 as for reactivation series we will exclude some of the options, not all.
Nov 7 2024
Yes, those are the ones requested by @krobinson and Amber in the doc--they went through it and created that list.
Thanks @Eileenmcnaughton we definitely want to have the reduced list to make it usable both for DR and for Online team when applying.
This is the list that matches your table:
Nov 5 2024
Thanks @MDemosWMF
From Faircom:
We receive Donor ID on the file from your team. It is a unique identifier for each donor. The appeal will change with each campaign, as will the package code.
Engage includes this information when they process the gifts so that the gift can be tied to a donor. Here is how it looks:
