This article will go over how to get your Healthengine account integrated and reading from your PracSuite software to publish availability.
We'll also cover off problems we sometimes see and how you can attempt to troubleshoot them.

Getting Started
Prior to starting the process of integrating your PracSuite with Healthengine, you'll need to let our Support Team know so that they can get your account ready to go in the backend. Reach out via email on support@healthengine.com.au, or call us on 1300 377 639.
Requirements
- If setting up multiple Healthengine profiles/locations, the integration requires that each location must be set up in PracSuite as it's own - the cannot be shared across profiles.
- We cannot duplicate practitioner appointment books as this cloud-based integration expects each practitioner to be linked to one appointment book only, and for the appointment book to be unique.
- If your practice has one PracSuite instance/login but multiple Healthengine profiles, then you must ensure that each practitioner is only enabled at one location on Healthengine.
- All practitioner appointment types must be linked to a PracSuite appointment type.
- This should be completed once you have finished setting up the integration. We will cover more on this below.
Setting up the Integration
In PracSuite, go to Settings > Integrations > Click into Healthengine.
Add in your Practice ID. This can be found in the URL of your Practice Admin portal. It is a 5 digit number.
- E.g. https://healthengine.com.au/appointment/admin/12345/
Following on from this, add in the location/business you want to integrate, select your appointment types, and finally add your practitioners you wish to publish appointments for.
You should then be able to verify the integration by clicking on the tick icon at the end of the row, which will prompt you to login to your Practice Admin portal and finalise the process.
Once you have completed the integration, head into your Practice Admin profile to get your PracSuite appointment types linked up.
This is done under Appointments Setup > Appointment Types. In the top right corner, the page will default to the practice appointment types. Click into this drop down menu and select a practitioner.
Select the 3 dots on the row of the appointment type you wish to edit, and click into 'Edit PMS Appointment Type. It's here you'll be able to select the relevant one from the drop-down menu that appears.

Troubleshooting
Practitioner books coming through but not Publishing?
You can check the practitioners are ticked on for online bookings under PracSuite > Settings > Integrations > Healthengine > Edit > Select the gear icon next to Practitioners, and ensure they are added to the list here.
If the practitioner is not showing in the list of practitioners under Integration, confirm they are not set up as a separate business/location.
Lastly, ensure you confirm the time and date that isn’t publishing:
- Exists as a schedule;
- Online appointments are showing as enabled for the practitioner and;
- Online appointments are showing as enabled for the schedule they wish to publish.
To confirm this go into PracSuite > Settings > Practitioners > Rosters.
Booked Appointment Missing
For a more detailed log of appointment changes such as if or who deleted an appointment, go to the Appointments tab of a patient file in PracSuite.
In the list of appointments, use the plus icon to reveal the full audit log for the appointment.
The audit log will expand to show the fields changed as well as the old and new values.
Availability Missing
Availability is displayed based on the length of your default appointment type length in PracSuite. This can cause appointments that are below this default length to not show, as well as cause 30-minute slots to only show as 1 slot, instead of 2 x 15-minute slots. To correct this, ensure you have your Appointment Lengths set up as the shortest length in PracSuite -> Settings -> Appointment Book -> Appointment Types -> Duration.
If you experience any issues, need assistance with making changes, or would like to organise some time to run through this integration, please reach out to our friendly Healthengine Support Team via phone, live chat or email support@healthengine.com.au.
