I'm getting a 404 when I try to download the .zip.

Ben Lambert

@Ben Regier hmm - that's weird (and annoying). Let me dig in and see if I can determine what's happening. In the meantime, I'll re-attach the zip here:

constituent giving tile.zip

Ben Lambert

@Ben Regier maybe just a weird quirk of the UI? I get the 404 clicking on the link, but it works when clicking on the item in the “Attached files” section.

@Ben Lambert
Thanks for sharing! Can I ask - why did you deem this a necessary build when there is already a giving summary tile? What's the use you have for it?

Ben Lambert

Hi @Sami Zoss, I built this adaptive card just to show the art of the possible and as a companion to this blog post:

https://community.blackbaud.com/blogs/69/8739

So primarily this card just shows what is possible in terms of layout, formatting with Markdown expressions, etc. One could envision taking this card and expanding it with data from another system to further distinguish it from the standard out-of-the-box NXT giving tile.

@Ben Lambert
Ahhh makes sense!!

i could see this as a way to create something for development officers to easily export a giving summary of sorts for our donors. Have you been able to or seen any card that created the ability to then export the information displayed?

James Parsons

@Ben Lambert Hello! I was hoping to try this card out, but the link you provide goes to a 404 error – is this still available?

@James Parsons - Try this one instead. Ben commented this in Feb '23.

Hi @James Parsons, hmm - I see the same 404. I suspect this is the result of some transition in the underlying Community tool. @Erik Leaver do you know if these links are still available?

James Parsons

@Austen Brown
So, the link for this worked, but it won't import (just getting a non-helpful “something went wrong” error). Would that be a problem iwth the zip file?

Ben Lambert

@James Parsons actually, when I view this thread I see two links - an inline link in the post, and then another link under “Attached Files”. Not sure if the second link is only visible because I am the OP but in any case, I get the 404 on the first link, but the second link works.

The zipfile just contains a .json document - it's not something you can import into Power Automate. Just unzip the file and grab the json and paste it into your flow that builds the adaptive card.

In case it helps, here's the json from the unzipped file - I'm sure Community will mangle the formatting (it looks fine when I paste it here) but you should be able to paste it into any online JSON formatter or the adaptive card designer itself:

@Ben Lambert
Ah, I see – thanks for that explanation. I've been able to replicate this in our system; it's a good proof of concept. Thanks!

Erik Leaver

@James Parsons Looks like we've resolved the 404 error. Thanks for calling this out!
