Setting Up the SKY API Importer

I connected pickAtime through the Blackbaud Marketplace, but I don’t see the SKY Importer.

The SKY Importer must be enabled before it becomes available.

To enable the importer, go to Global Setup / Business, Show Advanced Options, Single Sign On Options, Blackbaud and check Use SKY API Importer.

The importer will now appear in the Importer section.

I added an event, but there are no events available to import.

Blackbaud imports only work with PTA Events.

If your event was created as a Normal Event or Simple PTA Event, it will not appear in the importer.

Create a new event using the PTA Event type and try the import again.

What Blackbaud roles are required to use the SKY Importer?

The account running the import must:

  • Have a BBID

  • Have one of the following roles:

    • Academic Group Manager

    • Schedule Manager

    • Platform Manager

    • Have the SKY API Data Sync role

If you recently received a new role, log out of Blackbaud and then log back in before attempting the import.
