 The ClaimRev Connect module is published on Packagist as ''claimrevolution/oe-module-claimrev-connect''. Starting with v2.1.3 a **single build** runs on both OpenEMR 7.x and OpenEMR 8.x — runtime compatibility shims in ''src/Compat/'' activate only when the host core lacks the newer APIs. Pick the install method that matches your environment.

-=== Method 2: Manual Zip Upload ===
+=== Method 2: Manual File Drop (Shared Hosting / No CLI) ===
-For installs without CLI access (shared hosting, restricted environments):
+OpenEMR's //Manage Modules// page does not have a zip-upload feature for custom modules — it scans ''interface/modules/custom_modules/'' on every page load and lists whatever directories it finds. For installs without CLI access (shared hosting, restricted environments), drop the files into place via SFTP/FTP:
   - Download the current release zip from [[https://github.com/claimrevolution/oe-module-claimrev-connect/releases|the GitHub releases page]].
-  - Log into OpenEMR as an administrator.
+  - Unzip it locally. You should see a folder named ''oe-module-claimrev-connect/'' containing ''composer.json'', ''info.txt'', ''src/'', ''public/'', ''templates/'', etc.
-  - Navigate to **Modules > Manage Modules**.
+  - Connect to your OpenEMR server with SFTP, FTP, or your hosting control panel's file manager.
-  - Click the **Install** tab, then click **Upload Module** and select the downloaded zip.
+  - Upload the entire ''oe-module-claimrev-connect/'' folder into ''interface/modules/custom_modules/'' so the resulting path is ''interface/modules/custom_modules/oe-module-claimrev-connect/composer.json'' (and so on for the other files).
+  - Continue with [[#Activation|Activation]] below — OpenEMR will see the new directory on the next page load.
+**Note:** Updates with this method are the same flow — replace the contents of the ''oe-module-claimrev-connect/'' folder with the contents of the new zip. Method 1 (Composer) is much easier if you have any way to run shell commands on the server.

 ===== Configuration =====
-After enabling the module, you need to configure your ClaimRev API credentials.
+After enabling the module, connect it to your ClaimRev account. ClaimRev is moving to a new sign-in system (ZITADEL), so there are two ways to do this. **New sites should use a ZITADEL key file (Option A).** Existing sites using a client ID and secret keep working unchanged, and can switch to a key whenever they are ready.
+First, set the environment in **Admin > Config > Connectors > ClaimRev Connect**:
+  * **ClaimRev Environment**: ''P'' for production (the default). Use ''S'' only for a ClaimRev test account, and ''D'' only if ClaimRev support asks you to.
+The API server, sign-in server and scope are set automatically from the environment. You do not need to enter them.
+==== Option A: ZITADEL key file ====
+  - Get your key file from ClaimRev. It is named like ''cr-xxxxxxxxxxxx-key.json'' and can be downloaded only once, so keep it somewhere safe. A key from the ClaimRev **test** portal only works with environment ''S''; a key from the production portal only works with ''P''.
+  - In OpenEMR, go to **ClaimRev Connect > Setup**.
+  - In the **ClaimRev Sign-In Key (ZITADEL)** card, click **Choose File** and pick the key file, or paste its contents into the box.
+  - Click **Save Key and Test Connection**. The module stores the key encrypted, signs in to ClaimRev and checks your account straight away. You should see //ZITADEL key saved and the connection to ClaimRev was verified.//
+  - Open the **Connectivity** tab to confirm: **Identity Provider** shows ZITADEL, **Token** shows Yes, and your default account is listed.
+When a key is saved, the module uses it and ignores the Client ID and Client Secret settings. To go back to Option B, click **Remove Key** on the Setup tab. To replace a key (for example after ClaimRev rotates it), load the new file the same way.
+==== Option B: Client ID and Client Secret ====
-  - Navigate to **Admin > Config > Connectors**.
+  - In **Admin > Config > Connectors > ClaimRev Connect**, enter:
-  - Scroll to the **ClaimRev Settings** section.
+    * **Client ID**: your ClaimRev API client ID
-  - Enter the following values provided by ClaimRev:
+    * **ClaimRev Client Secret**: your ClaimRev API client secret
-    * **Client ID** - Your ClaimRev API client ID
+  - Click **Save**.
-    * **Client Secret** - Your ClaimRev API client secret
+  - Open the **Connectivity** tab in the module to confirm the connection.
-    * **API Server** - The ClaimRev API endpoint URL
-    * **Client Authority** - The OAuth token endpoint
-    * **Client Scope** - The API scope (typically provided by ClaimRev)
-  - Click **Save** to store your settings.
-**Tip:** To verify your connection, navigate to the ClaimRev module and click the **Connectivity** tab for a connection status check. Contact ClaimRev support if you need your API credentials.
+**Tip:** If the connection fails, the **Connectivity** tab shows the reason in a red box. See [[#Troubleshooting|Troubleshooting]]. Contact ClaimRev support if you need your key file or API credentials.

 ===== Compatibility =====
+==== Module Version Compatibility ====
+**Always run the current release.** A single build covers every supported OpenEMR version — the ''src/Compat/'' shim layer adapts to the host core at runtime, so there is no version-specific build to choose.
+^ Module version ^ OpenEMR 7.0.2 ^ OpenEMR 7.0.4 ^ OpenEMR 8.0.x ^ OpenEMR 8.2 ^ OpenEMR 8.3 ^ OpenEMR 8.4 ^
+| **v2.2.0** (current) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
+| v2.1.9 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Not tested |
+Requires **PHP 8.2 or later** on any core. v2.2.0 verified live against the ClaimRev API (staging and production, ZITADEL sign-in) on OpenEMR 8.4.1, 8.3.0 and 7.0.2. v2.1.8 verified on 8.3.0, 7.0.4 and 7.0.2, including 837P claim submission.
+=== Running an older module version? ===
+**v2.1.6 and earlier fail on OpenEMR 7.0.4 and on the 8.0.x patch line.** Module pages die with:
+<code>Call to undefined method OpenEMR\Core\OEGlobalsBag::getKernel()</code>
+Those cores ship an ''OEGlobalsBag'' //without// ''getKernel()''. Because the class itself is present, the module's shim does not engage, and the direct call fails. Symptoms are blank module pages, or the **Patient Portal / API** panel vanishing from the patient dashboard. v2.1.3 is worse still — it fails during login bootstrap and returns HTTP 500 for the entire site.
+Upgrading to v2.1.7 or later resolves all of it.
+=== Pinning a specific version ===
+Every release stays available on Packagist. To hold a particular version:
+<code>composer require claimrevolution/oe-module-claimrev-connect:2.1.8</code>
+There is no separate branch per OpenEMR version. A single build covers both 7.x and 8.x, and older cores are supported by pinning the last release that supported them.

-==== Compatibility Check ====
-To verify the module works correctly on your OpenEMR version:
-  - Navigate to **ClaimRev Connect > Connectivity**.
-  - Click the **Run Compatibility Check** button.
-  - A diagnostic page shows the status of each critical component:
-    * ''OEGlobalsBag'' — Whether the native class or shim is in use
-    * ''ServiceContainer'' — Whether the native class or shim is in use
-    * ''LoggerInterface'' / ''ClockInterface'' / ''CryptoInterface'' — Whether native or shimmed
-    * ''GlobalConfig'' and ''Bootstrap'' — Whether they instantiate successfully
-    * OpenEMR version and PHP version
-If all checks show green, the module is fully operational. If any check shows "Using ClaimRev shim", the module is running with compatibility shims — all features work normally.

+  * **"This key belongs to the ClaimRev Staging/Production environment..."**: the key came from a different ClaimRev portal than your **ClaimRev Environment** setting. Change the environment to the one named in the message (''S'' for a test-portal key, ''P'' for production), or load a key from the matching portal.
+  * **"The key file is not valid JSON" / "not a ZITADEL service-account key file"**: the wrong file or text was loaded. Use the ''cr-...-key.json'' file exactly as downloaded; a client secret will not work here.
+  * **403 "Service Account not properly setup"**: the key works, but ClaimRev has not finished setting up the client application (it needs roles assigned). Contact ClaimRev support.

 ===== Changelog =====
+The full, detailed changelog is in [[https://github.com/claimrevolution/oe-module-claimrev-connect/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md|CHANGELOG.md on GitHub]].
+== Version 2.2.0 — October 12, 2026 ==
+  * **ZITADEL sign-in.** The module can sign in to ClaimRev with a ZITADEL key file, loaded on the Setup tab and stored encrypted. Sites using a client ID and secret keep working unchanged, and switch over by loading a key. See [[#Configuration|Configuration]].
+  * **Clearer connection errors.** The Connectivity tab shows why sign-in failed. A key from the wrong ClaimRev environment (test vs production) is detected and named.
+  * **Token caching.** ZITADEL access tokens are cached and renewed shortly before they expire, instead of being requested on every page load.
+  * **Upgrade note:** click **Run Upgrade** on the Setup tab once after updating.
+  * Verified on OpenEMR 8.4.1, 8.3.0 and 7.0.2.
