403 Error with Event endpoints

Jeremy Wrinkle

Hello:

I filed a case with Blackbaud, and they told me to try to Developer forum, since they believe the problem lies in the Power Platform and not the SKY API.

I am attempting to build a flow that will add participants to an event. When I try to contact any event endpoint in the production environment, I get a 403 error. I don't get this error in the Sky Developer Cohort, or when using the Try It console against production.

This is just one example connector. I also get the same error with any of the Event connectors I try, such as Updating an Event, listing Events, or Querying a Specific Event.

And here is an example JSON response:

{
"statusCode": 403,
"headers": {
"Cache-Control": "no-store, must-revalidate, no-cache",
"Strict-Transport-Security": "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains",
"Request-Context": "appId=cid-v1:0c37065f-4d7c-47cf-af06-96cd9a75949d",
"X-Content-Type-Options": "nosniff",
"x-ms-function-status": "OK",
"Date": "Sat, 20 Apr 2024 00:25:19 GMT",
"Content-Length": "0"
}
}

Does anyone else have this issue? I have seen the posts where some people are getting this error with Static Queries endpoints.

Those endpoints seem to be working for me.

First thing I would do is double-check which user you used to sign in to your Blackbaud connections in Power Automate, and then go into your security settings in Raiser's Edge and make sure that user has access to events.

The events access was the culprit! Since I could read and update events in RE (database view and in NXT) I thought I had the same access via the SKY API. Turns out the admin needed to give that to me. It works now, thank you for your assistance.
