Following the successful merge of the Flutterwave adaptor into the main repo , I wanted to spark a conversation around another integration that could be hugely impactful: OpenELIS.
OpenELIS is widely used for laboratory information management in public health systems (especially across Africa), and having a dedicated OpenFn adaptor could unlock powerful workflows—connecting labs with DHIS2, OpenMRS, national HMIS systems, and more.
Potential use cases:
Syncing lab results to DHIS2 or EMRs
Automating test orders and result notifications
Improving data flow between labs and health programs
Thanks for reaching out and for sparking the conversation. We’re actually already working on an OpenELIS adaptor, and progress is underway. You can follow along or add input on the GitHub issue here: New OpenELIS Adaptor · Issue #1512 · OpenFn/adaptors · GitHub
Hey @Tresor! This is probably the wrong place to hit you up, but an Amazon S3 adaptor might be a fun build? Upload/download files to/from a bucket, nice and clean.
We don’t have any specs on it yet so you’ll have to propose something to us. You’ll have to save files to state as base64 encoded strings - you might find inspiration in the msgraph and googledrive adaptors.
We have a stub issue adaptors#1431 but it’s just a placeholder. That’s probably the best place to ask questions or propose a design. You can also email joe at openfn dot org!
