Extend Raiser's Edge NXT With Applications

Steve Stegelin

To extend the functionality of your Blackbaud products, your organization can use additional applications created by Blackbaud, providers in the Blackbaud Partner Marketplace, someone at your organization, or other approved external developers.These applications securely access your data via SKY API, so you can do more with your constituents, fundraising, and accounting efforts.For example, previously highlighted applications include:

• Raiser's Edge NXT for Gmail add-on
• Raiser's Edge NXT app integration with Workato
• Raiser's Edge NXT for Outlook add-in

To use an application, an admin at your organization can enable it using its unique ID, acquired from the developer or Blackbaud Partner Marketplace. (Admins! To manage your organization's apps, select Control Panel, Applications. To use an app, connect it under Available apps or enable it with its unique ID under Connected apps.)


Once an admin enables an app, you can install it and authorize it to access your Raiser's Edge NXT data, respecting the security rights of your Blackbaud ID. For more information, see the Applications Help.

Interested in developing an app using SKY API? 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 and can register your applications and enable those you develop for your organization. For more information, see the SKY API Getting Started page.

I am a huge fan of RE Integration with outlook and hope it gets developed more!
