Common CAD Integration Risks

Edited

Required Field Missing

  • Cause: ANET did not capture a required CAD field.

  • Fix: Switch to Suggested mode or adjust intent questions to capture the field.

Incorrect Mapping

  • Cause: ANET fields mapped to wrong CAD destinations.

  • Fix: Correct field mapping and re-test.

Misaligned Intent-to-Incident Mapping

  • Cause: Intent logic creates an incident category that CAD does not support.

  • Fix: Adjust mapping logic or use a safe default.

Expectation of Duplicate Detection

  • Risk: CAD may not dedupe automatically.

  • Fix: Define agency workflow for duplicates; do not assume the integration prevents them.

Misunderstanding Update Limitations

  • Risk: Some CAD systems do not support updating existing calls from ANET events.

  • Fix: Treat CFS creation as a one-time submission unless explicitly supported.
