Why this helps
Old fields create uncertainty about which contact details still matter and where to look.
- Reduce confusion from obsolete fields.
- Keep the contact schema easier to scan.
- Tie cleanup to a current Blackbaud data need.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackbaud and Mailercloud once through the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation prompt to identify Mailercloud properties no longer needed for current Blackbaud supporter data practices and delete only those confirmed safe to retire.
- 3Set a quarterly Notis schedule.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test the review with one candidate and confirm it is not used in a webform before deletion.
Questions about this workflow
Can a property used in a webform be deleted?
No. Mailercloud does not allow deleting properties used in webforms. The prompt should exclude them.
Should every old field be removed?
No. Remove only fields confirmed to be unused and no longer needed.
