Add Google Sheets donations to a Blackbaud batch

Keep fundraising records moving from your intake sheet into the right Blackbaud batch.

Trigger

New Rows in Google Sheet

Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.

Action

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

Donation rows sit in spreadsheets while someone manually re-enters each gift into Blackbaud.

  • Reduce duplicate donation entry
  • Keep an open batch ready for review
  • Surface incomplete gift details before submission

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Blackbaud in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named for your donation intake sheet.
  • 3Describe that each new donation row should be validated and added to the specified open Blackbaud gift batch.
  • 4Pick New Rows in Google Sheet as the trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real donation row and review the run report.

Questions about this workflow

What if a donation row is missing required details?

Tell Notis to flag the row for review and skip adding it until the missing information is supplied.

Can this close the batch automatically?

No. This workflow adds gifts to the existing batch; batch review and closing remain separate.
