Create a scheduled gift detail check
For a small, known set of gift IDs that needs periodic review, a scheduled Notis automation can retrieve the latest details and summarize them.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
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
Periodic checks can become mental overhead when they rely on someone remembering to revisit the same records.
- Create a repeatable time for checking selected gifts.
- Reduce the need to remember each manual lookup.
- Receive a concise summary for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Blackbaud to Notis once through the portal if Slack context is part of your workflow.
- 2Create a scheduled automation and write one prompt naming the intended gift IDs or a reliable source for them.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve each specified gift and summarize its current details without changing records.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real gift ID before relying on the recurring run.
Questions about this workflow
Can this discover new gifts on its own?
No. Get Gift By ID requires gift IDs. Provide the IDs or a supported source in the prompt.
Will the scheduled run change records?
No. The action retrieves gift details only.

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).
