Use Public Name for Giving Receipt System Emails

.0 Finance Complete

Currently, the Send Payment Receipts logic uses the Account Name field when generating Giving Receipt System Emails. In our context, account names are intentionally long and designed for internal use only. For external communication (including receipts), we maintain a Public Name field that is concise and appropriate for donors.

Proposed Update

Update the SendPaymentReceipts process so that Giving Receipt System Emails use Public Name when it is present, rather than the internal Account Name.

 • If a Public Name exists, use it in the email.

 • If a Public Name is not set, fall back to Account Name (ensuring backward compatibility).
