Good evening all, I had a question that I’m at a loss for. One part of our organization uses Neon as their database and I was hoping that there was a connector or api for a connection between the two programs
So far I’ve been unable to locate anything. I was hoping somebody might have an idea of where I could look? I’m truly frustrated because I have no experience whatsoever with neon and I don’t think I know what I don’t know…. ?. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Assuming you mean Neon database being another CRM, there is no direct “connector” between that and RE NXT.

    RE NXT SKY API allows access to CRUD (create, read, update, and delete) to many records type within RE NXT.

    I don't know if Neon database has an API or not, assuming if they do, they a “middleware” (a software/app that sit between these 2 platform that does some “work” between the 2). The question though is, what exactly are you trying to do?

    While I cannot say with 100% certainty, I am about 97% sure that this will not be possible. Neon does have an API, but I will be surprised - based on my experience working with multiple clients using Neon - that this will be successful. Raiser's Edge is not listed as a possible integration on Neon's website nor is it identified in the Zapier library.

    Please do check my work on this, but don't get your hopes up.

    @Karen Diener @Christopher Blitz Hi Karen, Neon has webhook support so is easily integrated (our SmartSYNC system would do that) - the API may not even be needed but could be used if required. In terms of the data provided it is fairly standard stuff - contacts, events, donations etc. so again all possible right now. Anyway, let us know if you would like to find out more about using SmartSYNC to accomplish this: support@smartthing.org
