API Events
An API Event can fire from any workstation. The format is a web hook, which is simply a REST style call to an endpoint of your choice, so it's the reverse of the normal REST calls that you would make to the API. You manage which events you want to fire by using API Subscriptions.
Database Event
Open Dental generates these events by polling the database at the frequency you specify. The generated event is a REST message that includes the Customer Api Key in the Authorization header.
Types: The type is specified in the subscriptions.WatchTable field.

Appointments
Example:
POST https://myserver/apievents/appointmentevent
Authorization: VzkmZEaUWOjnQX2z
