Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT connector for Jitterbit Integration Studio

Summary

The Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT connector establishes access to Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT.

The Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT connector provides an interface for creating a Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT connection, the foundation used for generating instances of Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT activities. These activities, once configured, interact with Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT through the connection.

The Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT connector is accessed from the design component palette's Project endpoints and connectors tab (see Design component palette).

Note

This connector can be used only with private agents. In addition, it is a Connector SDK-based connector, which may be referred to by Jitterbit when communicating changes made to connectors built with the Connector SDK.
