How to Re-Authorize Blackbaud

If you notice that your BrightArrow lists are no longer updating from Blackbaud, you may need to re-authorize the connection to allow BrightArrow to use the SKY API.

  2. Navigate to the Contact Lists tab in your navigation panel.
  3. Click on a list that has the word (sync) after the list's name. You can use the Filters option to narrow results to show only (sync) lists. (Sync) lists are the lists that BrightArrow uses to receive data from Blackbaud directly.

  5. The list's settings will open in the List Management tab by default. At the bottom of the window click Reset Blackbaud SKY API.

  7. When you click “Close” you will be brought back to the BrightArrow. Once all of the above steps are complete, please contact our support so we can test your setup and make sure your data is loading as expected.
