Connect Version2 to Blackbaud RE NXT
Authorize the Version2 integration with Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT (RE NXT) through a one-time secure SKY API connection.
Before you begin
Before authorizing the connection, make sure your RE NXT configuration has been reviewed with your Version2 onboarding contact.
You will also need:
- Blackbaud administrator access to your RE NXT environment
- Version2 user setup is complete. The email address used for authorization has been submitted to Version2.
- Your Application ID provided by Version2
Important: The SKY API connection is one-way and read-only. Version2 retrieves configured data from RE NXT but does not write data back to your RE NXT database through the API.
Step 1: Connect the Version2 app in Blackbaud
- Go to Blackbaud Marketplace > Manage at https://app.blackbaud.com/marketplace/manage.
- Select Connect app.
- Enter the Application ID provided by Version2.
- Select Connect.
If the Version2 user has not been set up yet, you may be prompted to complete that setup before continuing.
Step 2: Authorize the integration in Version2
- Log in to Version2.
- Go to Settings > API Connections.
[Keep existing Settings > API Connections screenshot here]
- Select Blackbaud SKY NXT as the provider.
- Select Submit.


Step 3: Complete authorization in RE NXT
- You will be redirected to Blackbaud.
- Log in to your Blackbaud account if prompted.
- Select Authorize.

- After authorization, you will be redirected back to Version2.
- Select Create to save the connection.

Confirm your connection is active
After you save the connection, it should appear in the API Connections table with an Active status.
Once the connection is active, Version2 can begin the initial data sync using your confirmed configuration.
Your Version2 onboarding contact will let you know when the initial load is complete and your VEO is ready for the next step in implementation.
