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 details can sit in signup records until someone remembers to enter them manually.
- Reduces duplicate entry
- Keeps new gifts queued for review
- Creates a consistent intake process
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Mailchimp and Blackbaud in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named for subscriber donation intake.
- 3Tell Notis to read donation details and add a gift to the specified open Blackbaud batch, asking for missing values.
- 4Pick the Mailchimp Subscribe trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real subscriber record.
Questions about this workflow
What if the subscriber has no donation details?
Notis can report the missing information instead of creating an incomplete gift.
Does this post the gift immediately?
No. Add Gifts To Batch queues it in the existing batch for later processing.
