Derek Nichols

It's been a little while since we've checked in with the Blackbaud Marketplace. So here's all of the new apps that arrived for September 2021!School is back and we’ve got more additions to the Blackbaud Marketplace!

Curious what’s available? Select the “Education Management” app collection to view applications compatible with Education Management. To see a broader range of apps, including apps for your school’s instance of Raiser’s Edge, filter for “Schools” instead.

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 needs 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 must 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!

Blackbaud ID

Remember, the administrator of the integration or app must authenticate with Blackbaud ID. For details about configuring apps with SKY API, see the SKY API documention for Schools.
