NTEN courses run for one week and are offered twice a year.

Do you regularly download data from one tool and upload it to another? This course will help you automate this process and save yourself tons of time.
– Instructor Aine McGlynn

Course Overview

Foundations of integration strategy

Understand how integrations work and the various automation options.

Inventory and documentation

Identify integration possibilities in your current cloud tools and document your decisions.

Planning and building

Know what data decisions must be made when designing integrated systems and learn to build a no-code integration.

Description

It can be inefficient to download data from one tool and upload it to another. Automating the flow of information between cloud tools can save time and reduce data problems. Thanks to the rise of integration-as-a-service tools, you don’t need to be a data engineer to build automations between your systems.

In this course, you’ll learn how to evaluate integration strategies so that your data can move automatically between tools, saving you dozens of hours of manual effort. You’ll get familiar with triggers, documentation, and both sides of an integration (source and destination). By the end of the course, you’ll be able to get started on your data integration wish list — with no coding experience required.

Pre-Work

Several relevant articles will establish key concepts and ideas as a primer to the live event, and help you to identify questions and topics you want to explore further.

Knowledge Check

A brief quiz will reinforce what you've learned so far. Don't stress - it isn't pass/fail - it is just to help you remember and distill the concepts you read in the pre-work.

Live Event

This is a 90-minute live captioned online training with opportunities to interact with the presenter and your peers. And if you can't make the live session, you'll be able to access a captioned recording.

Homework

Faculty, themselves experts with a wealth of nonprofit experience, have created exercises that will reinforce what you've learned and give you actionable steps to improving your organization.
