To participate fully in the Skills Lab, we recommend you use 2 monitors – one to follow along with your expert instructor and the other available to access critical resources and your own application, or in some cases to follow along with a build. 

This session will be using the Microsoft Power Platform and assumes that all attendees will have appropriate privileges to create a workflow at flow.microsoft.com. Please visit this site right now and click on “Create” in the left sidebar navigation.  If you are prompted to upgrade, then you do not have access and will need to contact your IT administrator as soon as possible to ensure you have access to a paid account or free trial in advance of November 9th.  You will still get value from the instruction, but won’t be able to participate fully. 

In this Skills Lab, we will be creating an email notification with a digest of the previous day’s large gifts. Before the Skills Lab you will need to: 

1. Create a SKY Developer account if you do not already have one. This account represents you as a developer within the Blackbaud Developer Portal.  

2. Link your Raiser’s Edge NXT instance to the Microsoft Power Platform by completing these initial set-up steps.  If you have a TEST Environment, we suggest you make use of this for the Skills Lab. If you do not have access to Control Panel to complete these steps, you will need to ask for permission from your Raiser’s Edge NXT administrator. 

3. Create a Raiser’s Edge NXT webview Gift List of all single donations over $1,000 with a Gift Date Range of ‘Yesterday’. If you will not have any gifts that meet these criteria on November 9th, then we suggest that you create at least 2 Test Gifts to work with during the Skills Lab. 

4. Keep this link handy during the Skills Lab.
