Response

Created, updated or replayed record; this transport unwraps the primitive success envelope.

A donor record. Donors give one-time donations and recurring commitments, and may be linked to entities (recipients) via sponsorships. Standardized profile columns (first_name, phone, address, etc.) coexist with arbitrary custom fields stored in json_fields and defined per hysform_id. The username/email/password columns also let donors sign in to the donor portal.

integer<int64>

required

Internal donor ID.

Example:

12345

integer<int64>

required

Owning Gratona client (multi-tenant scope). All donor queries MUST filter by this.

Example:

207

hysform_id

integer<int64> | null

HysForm that defines this donor's profile fields (custom + standardized) — controls which keys appear in json_fields.

Example:

42

donorprogram_id

integer<int64> | null

Program the donor signed up under, if applicable. Mostly informational.

Example:

11

household_id

string | null

ISO 3166-2 country subdivision code.

Custom profile/record fields. Raw model responses retain the encoded JSON string; projection endpoints may return a decoded map or list. Use the record form definition to interpret field keys.

year_to_date

Cached YTD giving totals (per year and per program), refreshed by background jobs.

has_artifacts

boolean

Whether the donor has any uploads/photos attached.
