Overview

Caliber sends incident data directly to GovWorx over a secure internet connection using the CAD NG Standard XML format. This is a cloud-to-cloud integration. No local Data Agent is needed.

How It Works

Caliber is configured on their end to push outbound XML webhook events to a GovWorx-hosted endpoint unique to your agency. As incidents are created or updated in Caliber, the data flows to GovWorx automatically.

Data received includes:

  • Incident ID and type

  • Call time and timestamps

  • Unit and resource assignments

  • CAD notes and comments

  • Location information

  • Incident Creator Details

    • <IncidentCreatorUserName>

    • <IncidentCreatorStation>


Setup Requirements

On the Caliber side:

  • Caliber administrator configures an outbound webhook pointed to the agency-specific GovWorx URL

  • The URL includes a tenant path unique to your agency

On the GovWorx side:

  • GovWorx provisions the receiving endpoint for the agency

  • A shared authentication secret is configured to verify requests are coming from the correct Caliber instance


Getting Started

  1. Contact your GovWorx Technical Services Specialist to request the Caliber integration

  2. GovWorx provides your agency's unique webhook URL and authentication secret

  3. Your Caliber administrator configures the outbound webhook in Caliber using those details

  4. GovWorx confirms data is flowing and completes the setup


Notes

  • This is a cloud-to-cloud integration. No local Data Agent is needed.

  • Protocol: Caliber CAD NG Standard XML (v10.20)

Standard Data Fields

These are the standard data fields GovWorx reads from the Caliber XML. The tables below show each GovWorx field and the source it comes from. Source names are elements of the Incident element. GovWorx accepts the XML on its own or wrapped in a SOAP envelope.
