Add Gifts To Batch

Add one or more gifts (donations) to an existing gift batch in Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT. Use this tool when you need to: - Append new gifts to an open batch for later processing - Batch multiple donations together before committing them - Add gifts with detailed information (payments, splits, custom fields) Prerequisites: - The batch must already exist (use a create batch action first if needed) - The batch must be in "open" status (not committed) - You need the batch_id (system record ID) and constituent_id (donor ID) for each gift Note: This action returns response details for all HTTP status codes (including errors). Check the status_code field in the response to determine success (200) vs errors (4xx/5xx).

Why this helps

Fundraising details can be buried in task descriptions, leaving staff to re-enter them in a gift batch and risk losing a donation in the handoff.

  • Reduce duplicate entry between task planning and gift processing.
  • Keep gift preparation tied to the task that initiated it.
  • Use Blackbaud batch processing for review before gifts are committed.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and Blackbaud once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Notis by naming it and describing the outcome in one instruction.
  • 3Pick Asana's New Task Created trigger for the relevant project.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real task and confirm the gift is added to the intended open batch.

Questions about this workflow

Does this post the gift immediately?

No. The action adds gifts to an existing batch for later processing. Review and process the batch in Blackbaud using your normal controls.

What details should the task include?

Describe the gift and donor details needed for entry. Notis can only use information present in the task or otherwise made available to it.
