Prerequisites

Before you use the Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT connector, you must configure your own custom OAuth application via the Blackbaud SKY Developer Portal.

In your SKY API Developer account:

  1. On the My subscriptions page, locate your subscription Id (primary access key).

  2. On the My applications page, click +New application to configure a new OAuth application.

  3. In the Add application dialog, enter the information about the OAuth application as needed for your organization and click Save.

  4. On the next page, do the following:

    • Add the CData redirect URI (https://oauth.cdata.com/oauth/).

    • Copy the OAuth Client Id and Client Secret to paste into CData Connect Cloud.

    • Edit Scopes to the desired level of data access.

Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT to your CData Connect Cloud account:

  1. Open the Connections page of the CData Connect Cloud dashboard.

  2. Click + Add Connection in the upper-right corner.

  3. Type Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT into the search field, then click the data source name.

  4. On the Basic Settings tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.

  5. Enter your Subscription Key. This key is found in your BlackBaud Raiser’s Edge NXT Profile, after subscribing to SKY API Standard Edition.

  6. Paste the Client Id and Client Secret that you created in the prerequisites.

  7. Click Sign in to connect securely through OAuth. This action opens the Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT sign-in page in a new tab.

  8. Log in to your Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT account and provide the requested permissions (if applicable).

  9. At the top of the CData Connect Cloud Add Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT Connection page, click Save & Test.

    • If the connection test succeeds, a message indicates that your connection has been created. The Status on the Edit Connection page also changes to Authenticated.

    • If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. CData Connect Cloud displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the Sign in button. Correct the errors and try again.

    • Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a Status of Not Authenticated. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
