How to create absorption effect for 5e?

[grimdarbloodsword]

Is it possible to create an effect where a certain damage type heals a target instead of harming it (think of something like the shambling mound here)? Or is it something I would have to manually control?

Nope, have to do it manually.

There's no way to put heal in an IF effect. You can make the target immune to a specific damage type, and then just drag or manually enter the heal damage (remember, you can drag damage from chat, hold down ctrl and make it heal).
