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
Manually entering the same donation data twice (once in Linear notes, once in Blackbaud) is repetitive, error-prone, and cognitively exhausting.
- Eliminate duplicate data entry
- Process donations faster
- Reduce transcription errors
- Free up time for donor relationships
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Blackbaud integrations to Notis (portal setup, one-time).
- 2In Notis, say: 'When a donation batch issue status changes to approved, add all donations listed in the issue to the Blackbaud gift batch with ID [your batch ID].'
- 3Select 'Issue Updated' as your trigger and specify 'status = approved'.
- 4Pick your notification channel and test with a real batch of donations.
- 5Verify the gifts appear in Blackbaud without manual entry - you're done.
Questions about this workflow
How do I format donations in the Linear issue?
Notis is flexible: list them as bullet points with donor name, amount, and date. Or use a table. Notis extracts the data intelligently regardless of format.
What if a donation has custom fields?
Include them in your Linear issue description. Notis learns your organization's fields and maps them automatically in subsequent runs.
Can I change the batch ID after creating the automation?
Yes - just update the automation prompt or let Notis know the new batch ID in conversation. Changes take effect immediately.
