What you can build
The most common apps developers build on the Synchronizer API, and where to start each one.
The Synchronizer API reads and writes data in 15 dental and medical health record systems. You use one API for all of them. See the full list of supported systems.
Most developers build scheduling apps or financial apps. The API supports other kinds of apps too. Each table shows what an app does and which parts of the API it uses.
Scheduling apps
Scheduling apps read open times and book appointments into the practice's own calendar.
| App | What it does | What you use |
|---|---|---|
| AI voice receptionist | Answers patient calls during or after hours, books appointments and collects patient information. | Patients, Available slots, Appointments |
| Online booking | Lets patients book their own visits online. | Appointment types, Available slots, Appointments |
| Automated messaging | Sends appointment reminders and review requests, so staff do less by hand. | Appointments, Webhooks |
To start, book a test appointment with the Quickstart. Then set working hours and read open slots with the Scheduling quickstart.
Financial apps
Financial apps read the patient ledger and write payments back to it.
| App | What it does | What you use |
|---|---|---|
| Payment collection | Collects patient payments by email, text or terminal, then writes each payment to the health record system. | Balances, Charges, Payments |
| Claim processing | Creates and submits claims, so practice staff do not have to. | Charges, Insurance, Claims |
