Sharing my Power Automate template: Overdue Action Audit
Description:
This flow will pull a list of overdue actions from RENXT and send an email requesting the fundraiser update the actions.
Required connections:
Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT Constituents
Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT Interactions
Office 365 Outlook
Microsoft Teams
Suggested skill level:
Beginner
Configuration details:
Begin by creating an action list in RENXT that is filtered by:
- Action Status = Past Due
- Action Date = (your choice). We use “Last quarter.”
- Fundraiser = (your choice).
- Note: I’m working on a version that will dynamically pull in the fundraiser assigned to the action. I will share an update when that is completed.

Here’s the promised update to this flow! The email summary now includes the assigned fundraiser in the action summary table, and the flow has been enhanced to dynamically send the summary directly to fundraisers with overdue actions.

This is incredible, thank you @Hallie Guiseppe!! Used your updated flow for the dynamic list of fundraisers, and it's a game changer for sure. Excited to use this right away to start cleaning up our actions.

How do you find the list ID to include in the flow?
0 -
You don't need a List ID because the connector will allow you to select your list from a drop down menu. If you don't see your list in the drop down, double check the list you created is an ACTION list, not a constituent list.
💡TIP: I recommend using a standardized naming convention for your lists used in Power Automate flows. For example, I prefix mine with PA_ so it's always clear which lists are tied to a flow.
