In this session, we’ll show you how to design an identity-first integration that prevents duplicates before they ever reach your CRM.

We'll show you how to: Use Blackbaud’s Identity Thread API as the foundation, stage and resolve constituent identity with BrightVine Data Link before data hits your system, handle matched, unmatched, and ambiguous identity scenarios without breaking your integration and accelerate development using Claude Code (Anthropic’s AI coding tool) in real time.

We’ll walk through a real integration from start to finish, showing how these components work together to create a more accurate, scalable, and resilient data pipeline. If you care about data integrity (and want to stop cleaning up duplicates after the fact), this session will change how you approach integrations.
