With the release of the new connectors for Raiser's Edge NXT, we can now pull in Addressees and Salutations into our flows (such as Acknowledgments). But what if you want to use a non-Primary Addressee or Salutation? This video walks through the steps of using those additional Addressees and Salutations.

This method uses a Power Automate Expression for the final touches. That expression is added here to make it easier to copy and paste. NOTE that this expression isn't the only thing that's needed to select your Addressee/Salutation and comes after a “Filter array” action.

Highlighted Expression:

  • first(body('Filter_array_-_Additional_Name_Format'))?['formatted_name’]

    Hi Glen, This is great! I followed the steps in the video and when I attempt to pull the formatted name I don't see it listed in my Dynamic Values; am I missing a step?

    Hi Jackie, after you do the Filter Array, you won't be using Dynamic Values to pull in the formatted name, rather literally typing out ['formatted_name'] when using the “first” expression above.

    Hi Glen, I figured it out; I had to initialize a variable first.
