The North Carolina Coastal Federation faced a familiar challenge: collecting new constituent and event participant information from forms, events, and external sources, then getting that data into Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT® accurately and on time. In this session, you’ll see how a simple Google Sheet was transformed into a no‑code, data‑staging solution using the SKY API, allowing multiple teams to enter new constituent details in a familiar tool and have records automatically created or updated in Raiser's Edge NXT®with built‑in data quality safeguards. The session also explores how the same approach was applied to Raiser's Edge NXT® event participant data, automatically syncing complex application forms into Google Sheets for real‑time access by staff and volunteers—eliminating the need to build workarounds outside the system. You’ll learn how this automated workflow saves time, reduces duplicate records, improves collaboration across teams, and ensures data is available quickly to support timely donor cultivation and stewardship.
