Microsoft Power Platform makes it easy to start building integrations with Raiser’s Edge NXT®—but getting them to work reliably in the real world is what this session will cover.

We’ll walk through what it actually takes to design, build, and run a production-ready Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® integration using Power Apps, Power Automate, and the Blackbaud SKY API.

In this session, you’ll learn: how to build and secure a custom SKY API connector using Blackbaud ID (OAuth2), how to design Power Automate flows that handle pagination, throttling, and failures and how we reliably stage and move data using BrightVine Data Link for Raiser's Edge NXT®. More importantly, we’ll share what didn’t work—common assumptions, early design mistakes, and how we adapted when real data (and real constraints) got in the way.
