The ABC's of Convio API's

  • We need a user friendly way to query our own database and then create a group in C360 from the result set. Often times all the data attributes required for selecting the desired population for a group will not reside in C360. Is the Constituent API robust enough to be used by an application that will need to process a large result set and create a C360 group and also update a single C360 attribute for each member of the new group?

  • Are you trying to do something like this:

    1. Perform a query in your (non-Convio) database
    2. Create a new group in Convio
    3. Iterate over each record in the set returned in step 1 and
      1. add the person to the new group in Cons360
      2. change a Cons360 attribrute for the person

    I think that would work. The only problem you would have is if the first query was against Cons360 (not your own DB) and the result set is very large (> 1000 records, I think.)

    Hope that helps.
