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!
