New Blackbaud Marketplace applications

Published

Do you know what it means to connect an app?

Connecting is just the first step in enabling an app to extend the functionality of your Blackbaud solutions. You then need to work with the app publisher to complete their set up steps.

Also, when you connect an app, it does not have access to your Blackbaud data yet. If it wants to access your data, it still has to ask for consent first. Consent is given on a per user basis and the app can only access data that the consenting user can access.

After you connect an app, you then need to contact the app publisher for next steps and to discuss fees. No payment is given or promised at the time you connect, it just initiates your interest in that solution. If you have questions about what data it requires access to or how it works, include those questions when you contact them.

And if you ever decide the app isn't right for your organization, an admin can quickly disconnect it. All permissions are then revoked!

Karen Diener‍ I wanted to circle back with you to let you know that my team recently released a new feature to the Blackbaud Marketplace that enables you to see at a glance which apps are free and which are paid. Some apps still need to update their information, but I hope this is a good start into helping you with your needs. We are going to continue to listen, learn, and improve upon the new functionality as people use it, so we aren't done yet. If you have additional thoughts, I'd be happy to share them with my team. Thank you!

Karen Diener‍ Thanks for the feedback. We are actively building out the Blackbaud Marketplace and detailed needs like this help. To your point, we are actually in the process of working on a feature that enables partners to say if the app is free or paid. I'll let you know when it's live. Then, if there are additional things that would help, I hope you then provide additional thoughts.

The very first thing that I want to know about these apps is the cost. I know that isn't the best sales technique, but I'm a lot less likely to consider an app if I have to get wrapped up in a sales call and trial first. If I invest even a couple of hours of work researching something, only to find that it is way our of our league for pricing, it was a waste of time.
