Power Automate connector to multiple environments

Jacob Dong · February 14

I'm using Power Automate connector to pull query results from FENXT. It's running perfect with the query in our main environment/database. Now we have another query built in another FENEXT environment/database, I couldn't find the option to pick the environment when creating the connector in Power Automate. I'm wondering if Blackbaud FENXT Query in PA supports multiple environments?

Have anyone met the same situation?

Thanks in advance.

multiple re nxt environment is indistinguishable inside power automate.

I recommend that you create a separate Power Automate environment (name it for each environment you have to connect to in FE NXT).

Also, do you use the same “login” to access the multiple FE NXT environment? if so, when you “create” the connection to FE NXT connector, it should give you an option to select the FE NXT envrionment to connect to. If you use different login, then you have to use different login to “create” the connection.

Yes. I'm using the same login to access the environments. The weired thing is when I'm at Blackbaud Sky API Developer portal, click “Try it” , it lets me choose the environment in the pop-up window. but in Power Automate , when I create connector, no options available in the pop-up window, only main environment by default.

Could be something missing when setting up the account?

when you select an action from a connector that already have an existing connection established.. power automate will always use the one that exists.

You need to then go into the context menu of the action and select to “create new connection”, which will prompt you to login again, and select an environment. But I am saying, don't do that, as there is no way to “name” the connection, so you will not be able to tell which “connection” is for which FE NXT environment. Create a new Power Automate environment for each Blackbaud environment you have.
