Bring payment status into finance reviews
A changed finance review event can prompt Notis to retrieve the transaction details your team needs.
Trigger
Calendar Event Changes
Triggered when a new calendar event occurs (created, updated, or deleted) in the Outlook calendar.
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
Finance reviews lose time when payment status and error details are scattered across systems.
- Prepare reviews faster
- Focus on unresolved transactions
- Keep discussion tied to current data

- 1Connect Outlook and Blackbaud in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that retrieves the transaction ID referenced in changed finance events.
- 3Pick Calendar Event Changes as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one review event.

Add Gifts To Batch

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).
