Pull Fund Description/Designation Description in HTML Templates

Hi all,

I'm looking for some help with creating a contribution acknowledgement template for auto-acknowledgements. My Dev team wants to put the fund description (failing that, designation description--I think this would be better) in the acknowledgement for the customer's records. I have searched the website for ways to get this data, but the only thing I've been able to find is how to get the fund ID. Is there anyone with the technical know-how that can point me in the right direction/get me started with calling the fund or designation description rather than the fund ID? 

Thanks in advance!

    If you can get the fund ID, you should be able to put an API call to the Finance/Fund/{id} endpoint in your template to get the fund description.  That said, we have a contribution yearly giving template that I created which was custom enough that I just wrote a custom procedure to pull all of the data I wanted and called that from my HTML template, and that made it easy to get all the specific data I wanted.  Not sure what would be best for you, but I have to believe there is some way to get what you want.
