OpenELIS Adaptor

About OpenELIS​

OpenELIS (Open Enterprise Laboratory Information System) Global is an open-source, web-based software designed to manage laboratory workflows, specifically tailored for public health and reference laboratories in low- and middle-income countries. It automates laboratory processes—from sample tracking to reporting—supporting ISO and SLIPTA quality standards.

Integration Options​

OpenELIS has an available REST API. See functions for more on how to use this adaptor to work with the API. Visit the OpenELIS homepage for more details.

Authentication​

Users must specify a baseUrl, username and password. The username and password are then encoded into a basic authentication header and sent as part of every HTTP request.

OpenFn users can use the OpenELIS credential type when creating a credential.

See the adaptor's configuration schema docs

If working locally or if using a Raw JSON credential type, then your configuration will look something like this:

{
  "baseUrl": "https://example.openelis.com",
  "username": "admin",
  "password": "password"
}

I've noticed a problem with this Adaptor, or something is out of date, what can I do?​
