Cliniko Overview#

The Cliniko API opens a gateway to healthcare practice management by allowing you to interact with patient data, appointments, treatments, and more. With Pipedream, you can automate mundane tasks, ensuring that patient care remains front and center. Think of syncing appointment data with other calendars, sending personalized follow-up emails, or even managing inventory based on treatment records, all streamlined on a serverless platform.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/polling.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "cliniko-new-booking-created",
  name: "New Booking Created",
  description: "Emit new event when a booking is created in Cliniko. [See the documentation]()",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.1",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getResourceName() {
      return "bookings";
    },
    getResourcesFn() {
      return this.app.listBookings;
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      return {
        id: resource.id,
        summary: `New Booking: ${resource.id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(resource.created_at),
      };
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Cliniko	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Cliniko app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the API

Trigger Authentication#

Cliniko uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Cliniko account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Cliniko APIs in both code and no-code steps.
