Hello, 

 

When I first logged in this morning, I did not encounter any issues downloading our batch receipt Word files from Apsona.  However, after installing an update on my laptop (2026-07 Update (KB5121767) (26200.8894)), blank pages are appearing between each receipt within the downloaded Word files.  A colleague of mine is also encountering the same issue after installing the update on her laptop. 

 

I also notice that when I click into the blank page near the header, the blank page disappears, but it sometimes comes back depending on where you click (very finicky). 

 

Is this a bug/glitch between Apsona and the recent Windows update, similar to what was discussed several months ago?  Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?  Thanks in advance for any help!

    Just wanted to provide another update. 

     

    Apsona Support shared a link to an upgraded version (2.721) that their engineering team developed to fix the problem.  Our DBA upgraded our sandbox and production to the latest version provided, and the issue has now been resolved on our end!

    Hi @Benjamin engh

     

    If you're trying to use the Scheduler in a sandbox org, you'll need to have it enabled for that sandbox first. Please reach out to our Licensing team at sales@apsona.com

    , and they will enable the Scheduler for your sandbox. Once it's been enabled, simply clear your Apsona cache, and the Scheduler options should become available. 

     

    If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out. We are always happy to help. 

     

    Thanks,

Hi colleagues,   I am building a Mail Merge solution that creates a "Donor Profile" one page PDF.  So far, I'm pulling in data from recent opportunities, open opportunities, tasks/activities, contacts/affiliations, and fields from the Account (org/household).  I'm wondering, what's most important to you and your teammates to surface in a document like this? LMK!

Will GAU allocations appear in Batch Export where payment is matched to an open opportunity in Salesforce? Our fundraisers are now entering opportunities for their pipeline management. Our donor services team is receiving the payments for those opportunities and entering them through Apsona Batch. We have also recently begun using GAU Allocations. During our testing today, we discovered that if a fundraiser has already put a Campaign with Allocations on their opportunity, those allocations are not showing in our batch export. What is the issue and what is the solution?

We do not have multi-step reporting. I need a report that I can build in SF that will replace the Apsona Batch report. I need to have one row per batch entry with corresponding gau allocation. In the case of multiple allocations on the same opportunity I need the details in the report, not a concatenated field. I also need the batch details that are already included in the batch report. Is this possible?

There's been some buzz around the new security changes for Salesforce reports and dashboards. Will Apsona be adopting any of those requirements? I'm trying to prepare my team and our userbase if there will be a requirement to use MFA to access their Apsona reports just like with Salesforce reports.

    Hi @Frances Barrera

     

    Based on our current understanding, these Salesforce security changes should not have a direct impact on Apsona reports and dashboards. Apsona operates within Salesforce and respects Salesforce authentication, permissions, and security controls. If Salesforce requires additional authentication (such as MFA or session re-verification), users will need to complete that verification within Salesforce. Once the Salesforce session is authenticated, Apsona should continue to function normally. 

     

    Apsona does not rely on Salesforce's Reports and Dashboards APIs to display report data, so the upcoming changes targeting those APIs are not expected to affect Apsona reporting functionality. 

     

    For scheduled jobs that use OAuth authorization, re-authentication may be required only if Salesforce invalidates or expires the associated authorization token.

    Since Step-up Authentication and related security policies are managed entirely by Salesforce, we recommend confirming any specific authentication requirements with Salesforce directly.

Not specifically Apsona related but figured I'd start here. I send our donors thank you emails via Apsona with the send email through Gmail connection. I recently had to change my Gmail password and this process no longer works. I keep digging around but cannot find a way to reconnect/re-authenticate this process. The error I get when attempting to send email in Apsona is : Email External Transport Token Error. I'm quite sure this has to do with the password change but am not sure how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, this isn't working for me. I have tried going to my settings - email - my email settings - and when I toggle Send through Gmail off and wait then toggle it back on, I am not getting any prompt to re authenticate or login again. We do not use Einstein so that option won't work as well.

Does someone with the generic Apsona for Salesforce license have access to a mail merge setup as a button? Is there permissions guide available?

I am looking to create a lapse donor report for our development team. I am close, but the cross filters aren't applying as well as I thought. I am getting the same person multiple times, and definitely have donors who aren't "lapsed" appearing in the report. Any ideas?

    What we usually do for those sorts of things is use the metric fields in Apsona to get multiple columns with totals by FY for however many FYs you need, and then use calculated fields to create flags (lapsed is something like: if current FY is 0 and prior FY > 0  then true)
