CharityEngine
ID Work Item Type Title APP
43374 Feature Sync CharityEngine Calendar & Receive Activity Notifications
You can now sync your CharityEngine calendar with your preferred email calendar using the Sync Calendar feature under People > Activities > Sync Calendar. Additionally, you can add individual Activities to your email calendar by selecting "Add to Calendar" from the ellipses dropdown on the Activity detail screen OR clicking the calendar icon on the Activities listing screen. To ensure you never miss an important task, you can also enable "Send Reminders" on the Activity detail screen to receive email notifications as the activity’s target date approaches. 
CharityEngine
43280 Feature

Display Names & Emails of All Participants in Activity Queries 
Users can now add Participating Contacts and Assigned Contacts columns to Activity Queries to display the names and email addresses of all associated contacts. This enhancement is particularly useful when multiple contacts are involved, providing full visibility into who participated or was assigned to an activity. Previously, queries could only return a participant count when more than one contact was assigned or participated, without listing multiple individual names or email addresses.

CharityEngine
43422 Feature New "Updated From" Filter Added to Contact Report
The Contact Listing screen now includes an "Updated From" filter under the Advanced Search > General tab. This allows users to generate reports based on when contacts were last updated within a specific date range (e.g., January 1, 2025, to February 1, 2025). This enhancement provides more precise filtering, making it easier to track recent contact updates.
CharityEngine
43418 Feature Phone Number Notes Now Visible on Contact Summary 
In the Contact Record, the Phone Number Summary now highlights phone numbers with associated notes. A note icon will appear next to any phone number with a saved note. Additionally, hovering over the number will display a tooltip showing the note’s details. This update makes it easier to access important phone-related information at a glance. 
CharityEngine
43149 Feature Free Event Ticket Web Form Enhancements  
Our event forms now support $0 value event tickets. When an organization assigns a $0 value to an event ticket, the web form will dynamically adjust to hide the payment information block, streamlining the registration process for free events. 
CharityEngine
43426 Feature New Date Filters Added to Projects Report 
The Projects Listing screen (People > Projects & Time > Projects) now includes Advanced Filters that allow users to filter projects by Start Date and/or Completion Date. This enhancement makes it easier to search for projects within specific time frames, improving reporting and tracking capabilities. 
CharityEngine
433419 Feature Expanded Character Limit for Custom Fields
The character limit for custom fields in the Contact Record has been expanded to 999 characters, allowing users to store more detailed information within custom text fields. This update provides greater flexibility for capturing and managing extended data in contact records. 
CharityEngine
42378 Feature Option to Reduce Outstanding Pledge Amount with Soft Credit Transactions
Soft credit transactions can now be applied to reduce the outstanding pledge amount. This is particularly useful for donor-advised fund (DAF) transactions, where the organization receives the hard credit, but the soft credit is attributed to an individual or household. This enhancement ensures that pledge statuses accurately reflect collected amounts, improving reporting and pledge tracking. 
CharityEngine
43428 Feature Import Field Mapping Update: Tracking Code Renamed to Custom Code 
When importing data into CharityEngine, the mapping data field name "Tracking Code" has been renamed to "Custom Code" for greater consistency across the platform. 
CharityEngine
43427 Feature Enhanced Payment & API Features for Embeddable Donation Forms 
Embeddable popup donation forms now support virtual wallets, including Apple Pay and Google Pay, providing donors with a faster and more convenient way to give. Additionally, a CVV code field has been added for credit card payments, enhancing security and compliance. A new Web API has also been released, allowing users to enable, disable, or override embeddable form receipt and tribute acknowledgment settings, offering greater flexibility in managing donor communications. Also, DAFPay will be available soon, enabling seamless, tax-efficient contributions from donor-advised funds (DAFs). 
CharityEngine
43433 Feature Formal and Informal Salutations Added to Sustainer Query
The Sustainer query now includes formal, informal, and other salutations, making it easier to personalize donor acknowledgments and communications. This ensures that tax receipts, thank-you letters, and outreach use the correct household names for a more professional and engaging donor experience.
