Creating an API Key

Sadari Brown

I am currently in the process of completing an integration between RE and the OneCause platform. I am wondering if someone can provide tips on how to begin this process. I have received instructions from OneCause on the overview, setup, & endpoint guide.

Hi @Sadari Brown I've reached out to someone on my team to see if there is any assistance Blackbaud can provide. Hopefully a community member will come forward who has done the integration to OneCause to provide tips. Good to hear OneCause gave you all those great resources!

Thank you Crystal, I am looking forward to hearing from a community member, who can assist me with the OneCause Integration. Also, if there is anyone who has completed an integration between RE7 and OneCause, please feel free to contact me at sbrown@gssem.org.

Following! I would love to be able to integrate RE with OneCause!

Do you mean the OneCause Fundraising Platform? Or Peer to Peer? I've been doing csv imports between the two for years and would love to know if there's a better way. Or maybe we can help each other figure it out?

This piqued my interest, too! So I googled it, and followed this link to OneCause web site, which mentions the free Importacular connection with three fields in RE:

https://www.onecause.com/blog/raisers-edge-integration-via-importacular/

Unfortunately a link on that page to a blog article on this topic is broken.

Also of note - of the few vendors we use for fundraising outside of RE, I was most looking forward to talking to OneCause at bbcon 2025 in Philadelphia. They weren't there. Looks like I should have spent more time at the Importacular booth.

Good luck with this. Here's hoping for the best! In the meantime, happy to share my experiences on RE-OC work-arounds/imports/etc. if you're interested!

We already use Importacular to connect them, I meant the OC export to csv imported through Importacular to gift batches in RE. Apologies, I should have been more clear!

But I keep hearing about these API connections, never have time to learn it myself, and don't have in-house IT support. So if there's any way to share some knowledge from someone who's figured it out. I'd love to learn from them :)

I want to thank everyone who contributed in the discussion regarding the integration of RE and One Cause. I am going to continue with the integration. Once completed, I will be happy to share any insight I may have .
