To use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT to supported destinations, you must meet these requirements:
+ You have an account with Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT that contains the data that you want to transfer. For more information about the Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT data objects that Amazon AppFlow supports, see [Supported objects](#blackbaudraisersedgenxt-objects).
+ In your Blackbaud SKY Developer account, you've created a SKY developer app for Amazon AppFlow. The app provides the client credentials that Amazon AppFlow uses to access your data securely when it makes authenticated calls to your account. You can use default settings for the Grant type, the authorization tokens URL, and the authorization code URL, or use your own. For information about how to create a developer app, see [Applications](https://developer.blackbaud.com/skyapi/docs/applications) in the SKY API documentation. 
+ In the setting for Scopes, you've defined access to Blackbaud data with the option **Full data access.**
+ You've configured the app with one or more redirect URLs for Amazon AppFlow.

  Redirect URLs have the following format:

  ```
  https://region.console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/oauth
  ```

  In this URL, *region* is the code for the AWS Region where you use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT. For example, the code for the US East (N. Virginia) Region is `us-east-1`. For that Region, the URL is the following:

  ```
  https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/oauth
  ```

  For the AWS Regions that Amazon AppFlow supports, and their codes, see [Amazon AppFlow endpoints and quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/appflow.html) in the *AWS General Reference.*

Note the client ID, client secret, and subscription key from the settings for your app. You provide these values to Amazon AppFlow when you create your connection.
