Install

openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart

Quick Start

1. Get gift details -- blackbaud_get_gift_by_id
2. Check membership status -- blackbaud_get_membership_details
3. Add gifts to a batch -- blackbaud_add_gifts_to_batch

Authentication

ClawLink handles OAuth automatically via Blackbaud SKY API authentication. Connect through the dashboard and ClawLink manages token lifecycle. No API keys or manual configuration needed.

• Verify connection: clawlink_list_tools --integration blackbaud
• Reconnect: Visit https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=blackbaud

Security & Permissions

Read operations retrieve gift, membership, and payment data. Write operations (adding gifts to batches, OneRoster OAuth2) require confirmation. The agent will ask before executing any write action.

Code Examples

Get a gift by ID

{
  "tool": "blackbaud_get_gift_by_id",
  "args": { "gift_id": 12345 }
}

Check membership details

{
  "tool": "blackbaud_get_membership_details",
  "args": { "member_junction_id": "abc-123-def" }
}

Add gifts to a batch

{
  "tool": "blackbaud_add_gifts_to_batch",
  "args": {
    "batch_id": "789",
    "gifts": [{ "constituent_id": "456", "amount": 100 }]
  }
}

Get payment transaction

{
  "tool": "blackbaud_get_payment_transaction",
  "args": { "transaction_id": "tx-001" }
}

Discovery Workflow

1. Call clawlink_list_integrations to confirm blackbaud is connected.
2. Call clawlink_list_tools --integration blackbaud to see the live catalog.
3. Use blackbaud_get_gift_by_id or blackbaud_get_membership_details to explore records.

Execution Workflow

Read path:  User asks "Show me gift 12345"       -> blackbaud_get_gift_by_id
Write path: User asks "Add donations to batch"    -> Confirm -> blackbaud_add_gifts_to_batch

Notes

• Gift batches must already exist and be in "open" status before adding gifts.
• The member_junction_id for memberships is a GUID, not a simple integer.
• Payment transactions require a Payments API subscription key and OAuth token.
• OneRoster OAuth2 is an integration-level tool for educational data sync.

Error Handling

Troubleshooting

Tools Not Visible

Run clawlink_list_tools --integration blackbaud to confirm the connection is active.

Invalid Tool Call

Verify you are using the correct ID format (integers for gifts, GUIDs for memberships).
