Field Mapping
Last updated 24 April 2026
Field mapping tells Local Health Care which fields in your external system correspond to fields in our system.
How to set up field mapping
- After configuring the API connection, click Configure Mapping
- The portal will attempt to fetch a sample record from your system
- For each Local Health Care field, select the corresponding field from your system:
| Our field | Your system field |
|---|---|
| Patient name | Select from dropdown |
| Appointment date | Select from dropdown |
| Appointment time | Select from dropdown |
| Doctor | Select from dropdown |
| Status | Select from dropdown |
- Save the mapping
Testing the mapping
After saving, click Run Test Sync to pull a few sample appointments and verify the data maps correctly. Review the sample data in the preview table.
Sync direction
By default, syncing is one-way — your external system is the source of truth, and appointments are imported into Local Health Care. Two-way sync (where bookings made on Local Health Care are pushed back to your system) is available on request.
