With its rapid and iterative releases, the features and functionality of
Raiser's Edge NXT continually grow at a regular clip. With a new feature released yesterday afternoon, you can now use additional functionality enabled by applications created by Blackbaud, providers in the
Blackbaud Partner Marketplace, or other approved developers — even someone at your own organization!
These applications securely access your
Raiser's Edge NXT data via the Blackbaud
SKY API, so you can do more with your constituents and fundraising efforts. To use an application, admins can enable it using its unique ID, acquired from the developer or Blackbaud Partner Marketplace. (
Admins! To enable and manage applications, select
Control Panel,
Applications.) Once enabled, an application can access your data, and everyone at your organization — with appropriate security group rights and permissions — can use it. For more information, see the
Applications Help.
Interested in developing an application using the
SKY API? Simply sign up for a free developer account, which provides access to industry-standard and open REST APIs that extend the functionality of
Raiser's Edge NXT. Upon approval, you'll receive your own SKY API subscription key. With this key, you can register your applications and enable those you develop for your organization. For more information, check out the
SKY API Getting Started page.
