Get Gift By ID
Retrieves comprehensive gift details from Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT by gift ID. Use this tool when you need to fetch detailed information about a specific gift including: - Gift amount and currency - Donor/constituent information - Gift type and status - Important dates (gift date, post date) - Associated metadata and custom fields The gift_id is the unique system record ID (integer) that identifies the gift in Raiser's Edge NXT.
Why this helps
Generic thank-you messages damage donor relationships. Personalized ones require switching to Blackbaud, breaking the writing flow.
- Write more personal thank-yous
- Stay focused while writing
- Strengthen donor relationships
- Send thank-yous faster
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Blackbaud integrations to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When I create a thank-you task with a donor name, pull their most recent gift details - amount, type, date - so I can personalize the message.'
- 3Select 'Issue Created' as your trigger and use a 'thank-you' label for organization.
- 4Choose Slack notifications so gift details appear as you sit down to write.
- 5Test with a real thank-you task - the gift data arrives before you finish your coffee.
Questions about this workflow
What if the donor made multiple gifts?
Notis shows the most recent gift by default, but you can ask for 'all gifts in the last year' and it will give you the full picture.
Can I see how the gift compares to their average?
Yes - Notis includes gift trend data so you can acknowledge if this is a significant increase or a consistent pattern.
What if they gave anonymously?
Notis pulls the gift record even for anonymous gifts, so you know what to acknowledge and can reach out to confirm how they'd like recognition.

Check the status_code field in the response to determine success (200) vs errors (4xx/5xx).
