The Blackbaud toolbox.

Every Blackbaud capability your agents can call, each with a typed schema the planner reads. The router picks the right tool per step; the verifier checks the result.

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).

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.

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.
