Raiser's Edge Connector
Intro
Raiser's Edge by Blackbaud develops fundraising software and facilitating relationship management for nonprofits. Use Domo's Raiser's Edge connector to retrieve lists of gifts, constituents, and actions taken. To learn more about the Raiser's Edge API, visit their page (https://developer.blackbaud.com/skyapi/).
You connect to your Raiser's Edge account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Raiser's Edge connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

-
A Raiser's Edge client ID for your OAuth app
-
A Raiser's Edge client secret for your OAuth app
-
A Raiser's Edge API subscription key
