Datawise™ Webhook Processor for Blackbaud

Real-time Blackbaud data change event tracking

Overview

The Datawise Webhook Processor for Blackbaud provides you with real-time Blackbaud update data which you can use to export, report on, update auxiliary databases, etc.

When changes are made to Constituents, Gifts, and other record types, Datawise is notified via Blackbaud webhooks and adds the information to a cloud database that you can access.

You can use this webhook data to retrieve the change information via Blackbaud's SKY API. (Blackbaud doesn't provide the details of data changes directly via its webhooks, so this information must be retrieved separately.)

Datawise utilizes Blackbaud webhooks to gather record change information. This information is added to your personal MySQL database which you can view, export and report on.

Datawise is simple to set up and use; you can ready to go in less than 30 minutes.

How the Datawise Webhook Processor for Blackbaud works

When you subscribe to our Datawise Webhook Processor for Blackbaud, we provide you with a customized Blackbaud Webhook URL such as https://6eg9la8wuc.datawi.se which you use to subscribe to Blackbaud webhook events such as Constituent email address changes, Gift deletions, etc.

We also create a dedicated MySQL database on our cloud server which you access using your own credentials. Your data is completely confidential and accessible only by you and our server administrator.

When a monitored event occurs on your Blackbaud account – such as a Constituent email address change or deletion – the information is immediately added to your Datawise database.

How Datawise Adds Value

Having real-time access to your Blackbaud record change events means that you can respond faster to data updates, propagate the changes to other systems, generate alerts to support staff, automatically compile reports. The list goes on. Without this data being "pushed" to you, you have to continually monitor for changes which can consume resources even if automated.
