Check a payment transaction as soon as its ID arrives
Have your payment process send a transaction ID to a Notis webhook, then let Notis retrieve the Blackbaud payment details for the run report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Payment Transaction
Retrieves payment transaction details from Blackbaud SKY Payments API. Use this to check transaction status, amounts, payment methods, and error details. Transaction IDs come from payment processing endpoints, checkout callbacks, batch operations, or webhook notifications. Requires: Payments API subscription key (Bb-Api-Subscription-Key) and OAuth Bearer token. This retrieves existing transactions; it does not process new payments.
Why this helps
Payment callbacks and transaction IDs can arrive in one system while the status check happens manually somewhere else.
- Start a lookup when your process sends a transaction ID.
- See returned status and error details in the run report.
- Reduce the delay between a callback and a manual check.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackbaud once in the Notis portal and configure your process to send a transaction ID to a Notis webhook.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and add a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the transaction identified in the webhook request and report its status, amount, and any returned errors.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request containing a valid transaction ID.

No. Your payment process or another system sends an HTTP request to start the automation.

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).
