Trigger

Recurring schedule

Action

Update Contact Property

Tool to update a custom property of contacts in Mailercloud. Use when you need to modify the name or description of an existing custom property. Note: Editing custom property type using this API is not possible - you can only edit the name and description.

Why this helps

Outdated field labels make routine contact review harder and invite inconsistent interpretation.

  • Keep field labels aligned with current program language.
  • Reduce second-guessing during contact review.
  • Make existing properties easier for collaborators to interpret.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Blackbaud and Mailercloud once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation prompt to compare giving program terminology in Blackbaud with an existing Mailercloud custom property and update only its name or description when clarification is needed.
  • 3Choose a quarterly schedule.
  • 4Choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real property and confirm the intended label change.
