Re: BBCON Value for Altru Users
I attended bbcon in 2019 and there were some altru specific sessions, arts & culture specific sessions plus meet-ups.

You can also run a gift query to find only the tribute gifts during the timeframe you want. Under the main Gift node, scroll down to find Tribute Gift which is probably the last field. Add your date parameters and gift types as filters, and include the constituent ID in your output.

This implies, of course, that you have the Tribute module and every tribute gift is connected appropriately.

Re: NXT Add In- Adaptive Card (close after entering info)
@Kevin Fletcher this is now completely resolved when Blackbaud introduced the new webrequest action feature.
