We are trying to structure the documentation we are refreshing in a way that is useful for developers , partners, techies to understand the considerations they need to make when integrating their own products, custom implementations, community projects.
A similar sprint project tried to address a similar issue for data import, here it is for reference: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1H-5OXdgl-sZRQ5C4pZyHiOFcJvAhaG9H . This project highlighted some concerns the developer/partner and customer community has about integrating with NPSP and what's missing in the current product and its documentation.
There are currently two docs in the power of us hub that address the NPSP data import tool, added to files: NPSP Advanced User's Guide to Importing Data and NPSP Administrator's Guide to Importing Donor Data. Those docs are great for documenting the basic the use cases for importing data into NPSP and creating batch data import templates but they fall short of addressing the automation of imports via API integration, which could prove beneficial for partners, developer and integration enthusiasts. There is a section in the advanced guide called "Additional Automation Using Custom Apex Code" but
This content currently lives in a section called import data, there is no section in power of hus hub that explicitly mentions integration in the title and includes the topic of programmatic integration using the Import tool (there is one integration section but it's called integration and general administration and it seems to lump together topics that have little to do with APIs and programmatic integration)
What sort of resources and information would partners need for using the new Advanced Mapping feature in Batch Data Import?
