Subscriptions

Subscriptions are event-driven notifications, like webhooks, and are commonly used for integrations and automations. Medplum supports subscribing to changes on FHIR resources. There is a description FHIR Subscriptions on HL7.org that describes the functionality in detail.

• Subscriptions can be created and updated on the Medplum App
• Subscriptions are commonly used with bots and questionnaires to enable complex workflows.
• AuditEvents can be used to see a history of Subscription triggers and are useful in troubleshooting.
• Subscription features and fixes can be seen in detail on Github.
