Open Dental Forum

A developer recently contacted me with the following question and I am moving it here for better visibility.

Would "email" be included in the data returned from Providers GET? After testing, we found that "email" was not returned. Our system requires email for all users and was hoping you could help us with this.

The email address for a provider is not stored in the provider table and so is not returned with the Providers GET method. Users in Open Dental (called Userods) contain information such as email addresses, and can be Providers, Employees, both, or neither.

Our solution is to implement a new method, Userods GET, to get information for all userods. This will include userods that are providers, and therefore their email addresses. We are starting development on this right now.

Thanks for the information. That's good to know, but is there a rough ETA on when this will be ready for us to use?

Development on Userods GET was just completed. It be will available in version 21.3.13, which is estimated to be released early next week.
