New SKY Developer Cohort sandboxes

We added the following solutions to our SKY Developer Cohort sandboxes.

• Blackbaud Education Management
• Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT
• Blackbaud Merchant Services

If you don't have access to a Blackbaud environment of your own, the SKY Developer Cohort sandboxes are available for you to learn more about our solutions and test your applications in. Having access to an environment is also required to sign up for an API subscription.

You can request access by email to the SKY Developer team for the sandboxes above and our two existing ones, Blackbaud Church Management and Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT.

New App Showcase samples

In conjunction with the Blackbaud Developers' Conference, we added two new samples to the App Showcase.

• Barton Dyson from npAutomate announced in his session, Business Process Automation for Financial Edge NXT®, that npAutomate made their Financial Edge NXT Custom Connector open source. They have provided the code and instructions on how to use Financial Edge NXT with Microsoft Power Platform.
• Glen Hutson from Blackbaud showed in his session, Did you know that Blackbaud Luminate Online® can work with Raiser's Edge Online Express to streamline advanced transaction processing? how to use SKY API with Power Automate to extend the capabilities of Luminate Online by utilizing personalized Online Express forms. In his Luminate Online/Online Express Sample, you can find the code and instructions.
