PSA for anyone using Grants Management (managed package built on Outbound Funds model) AND also actively using the guidestar verification feature in any automated manner.  

In case you aren't fatigued enough with all of the security changes coming next week, there was an announcement for anyone using the native guidestar verification included in the Grants Management managed package with changes deploying now > the underlaying certificate will be changed to Candid's Premiere API instead of the current Guidestar Essentials API. 

If you automated the guidestar check in any way (including using the out-of-the-box flow that was released in 2022), at some point you will hit a gobbly gook error and not know why (fun fact: there are no plans to fix it).  

If you have already manually updated all of your custom code to handle that error based on the change to the new Candid Premiere API OR you already manually run the tax verification OR you don't use the included guidestar API - excellent > ignore me.  

If you are still heavily dependent on the included guidestar verification and don't know WTF I'm talking about, and you want to understand what will break for you, holla at me! (< am I showing my age? I know). I'm happy to chat or even have an open office-hours / ask-me-anything for anyone, depending on level of interest.
