General

What is Propagator?

Propagator is a secure integration platform designed to connect systems across the health sector. It enables real-time data exchange, automated workflows, and seamless connectivity between legacy and modern platforms - without the need for costly system replacements.

Who is Propagator for?

Propagator is built for health providers, aged care organisations, disability services, NGOs, and health technology companies. It's ideal for teams looking to modernise, reduce manual effort, and improve data flow across disparate systems.

What types of systems can Propagator connect?

Propagator supports a wide range of systems, including patient management systems, telehealth platforms, CRMs, rostering tools, booking systems, analytics platforms, and billing or finance systems. It works with both API-enabled and legacy systems.

Technical

Does Propagator support real-time data exchange?

Yes. Propagator is designed for real-time and event-driven data exchange between systems. It can also support scheduled (batch) processes where required.

Can Propagator connect to systems without APIs?

Yes. For systems that don't have modern APIs, Propagator can "wrap" them with a secure, custom API, enabling them to communicate with other platforms without needing redevelopment.

How is Propagator deployed?

Propagator can be deployed:

  • On Propagator's managed cloud (SaaS)
  • In your own cloud environment (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • On-premise, for organisations requiring full control and data residency
What security standards does Propagator support?

Propagator follows best-practice security protocols, including end-to-end encryption, role-based access control (RBAC), audit logging, and intrusion detection. It is ISO 27001 certified and designed to support compliance with Australian and New Zealand privacy and data protection standards.

How is performance monitored?

Propagator includes built-in telemetry features that provide detailed logs, real-time metrics, alerts, and dashboards to help you track performance and troubleshoot issues quickly.

Integration & Maintenance

How are integrations built and maintained?

Integrations are created using Propagator Studio, a web-based interface that allows teams to design data flows, map schemas, and manage configurations. Once deployed, integrations can be monitored and updated as needed without disrupting service.

What happens when APIs change?

Propagator monitors for changes to APIs and can automatically adapt connectors where possible. You'll be notified of any changes, with the option to review or manually adjust workflows if needed.

Can we customise how data is transformed between systems?

Yes. Propagator supports flexible data mapping and transformation, including custom logic, validation rules, and formatting adjustments to ensure accurate and meaningful data exchange.
