Does Numero store VANIDs?
If you plan to use NGP for compliance or other purposes in tandem with Numero, you can store your NGP VANIDs directly in Numero.
Please note that
Understanding the "VANID" Field in Numero
While VANID typically refers specifically to an NGP ID, the VANID field within Numero actually functions as a universal External ID field.
Any donors you input into your Numero CRM will automatically receive a Numero Contact ID as they enter your database, which is unique to our system and specific to your account.
Note: You can map an external ID (such as a traditional NGP VANID) to this field in Numero. However, you must only uses ONE true external ID system. Do not mix NGP VANIDs with IDs from other external platforms in this field, as this will lead to data confusion and matching errors.
Running Imports
Use caution when doing so to ensure you have the right VANID or Contact ID associated with the correct contact.
When running imports into Numero, you can match your data based on either the Numero Contact ID or the External ID (VANID) field. Extreme caution should be exercised when doing so to ensure you have the correct ID associated with the correct contact.
If you plan to import your VANIDs, make sure you have a column labeled VANID in your file upload and map it to the VANID column when you import your file.
Note: The External ID/VANID is stored in the contact info panel of the donor profile.
You can also view the donor VANIDs from the contacts tab when you filter for your contacts.
