API Cloud Link for Epic

Last Updated: September 22, 2026

The API Cloud Link for Epic integration lets organizations submit print jobs from Epic (EHR) directly to Vasion's cloud connector. This eliminates the requirement for an on-prem Service Agent, providing functional parity with on-prem Output Automation printing.

Key Points

  • This feature is available only by request. Contact your Vasion representative for more information.
  • Cloud-native Epic printing: Epic submits print jobs directly to Vasion's cloud connector without requiring an on-premises Service Agent.
  • Functional parity with on-premises: Open Batch, Close Batch, and Receive Job operations behave identically to the existing on-prem Output Automation experience, minimizing retraining for Epic admins.
  • Centralized credential management: Epic Basic Auth credentials are managed in a single location in the Vasion Admin Console, rather than distributed across Service Agents.
  • Reduced infrastructure overhead: Eliminating the on-premises Service Agent dependency lowers maintenance burden and infrastructure costs for healthcare IT teams.

Endpoints

When adding endpoints, the {site-id} is your instance name. For example, acmecorp.printercloud.com would be /epic/acmecorp/RecieveJob.

The endpoints must be adjusted for your region.
