Webhook for Procnotes?

Post by gdagley » Wed Feb 12, 2025 9:32 pm

There are only a few Event Types listed in the documentation(https://www.opendental.com/site/apievents.html). I am working on building a solution that leverages the Procedure Notes. I do see that there is a ProcNotes API to get specific notes, but you have to know what notes you want to get and my solution needs to be able to receive notes anytime they are created or updated (I know that this would really just be the creation of a new ProcNote because of versioning). Is there a way to get this information with the webhooks?

Good morning, I've moved your post to the API forum for visibility.

The ProcNotes GET method does not require any parameters. You can choose to get all of the procnotes for a procedure using the ProcNum filter, and/or you can chose to filter them for a simple patient with the PatNum parameter.

If you want all of the procnotes in the database, which I question the necessity for, you can choose not to use either filter parameter. Note that this will be a gigantic dataset, as each "editing" of a procnote in the UI actually creates a new procnote object. I do not recommend this approach.

If you do not know the patient nor the procedure you'd like the procnotes for, you might want to use our Queries PUT ShortQuery endpoint. You could write a query that leverages the EntryDateTime or UserNum(s) you need.
