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 is an advanced course and assumes you have already completed the following steps: 

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. Have full administrator rights to your Raiser’s Edge NXT production and/ or test environments, including access to the Control Panel -> Applications area. 

3. Review Power Apps Add-Ins documentation 

4. Review Power Automate Invoke a Flow documentation 

5. Review Power BI Add-Ins documentation 

We will review three different types of SKY Add-in during this Skills Lab.  SKY Add-ins extend the Blackbaud solution experience by providing contextual functionality that can be accessed within selected areas of the user interface. Blackbaud has developed and documented dedicated Add-in capabilities specific to Microsoft Power Platform applications such as Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI. 

This Skills Lab will cover: 

• Invoking a Power Automate Flow from a SKY Add-in button; 

• Triggering a Power App flyout window using a SKY Add-in button; and 

• Embedding a Power BI dashboard as a SKY Add-in Tile.
