CAD Integration Using HipLink

Connect your Computer-Aided Dispatch system with HipLink to automatically deliver incident details to the right responders, reduce dispatcher manual workload during high-volume events, and improve situational awareness across mobile, SMS, voice, pager, radio, and desktop delivery.

What the CAD Integration Enables

Purpose-built to extend CAD dispatch with automated alerting, targeted messaging, and faster information flow to the field.

Automated Dispatch Alerts

Automatically notify first responders, supervisors, special units and support personnel when CAD events are created or updated,reducing manual call-out tasks for dispatch.

Critical Incident Details to the Field

Deliver key CAD information including incident type, priority, address, comments, and other essential details directly to responders so they have what they need while reducing radio chatter.

Multiple Message Templates

Support multiple message templates for the same incident so responders, command staff, and outside resources can each receive the information most relevant to their role.

Mutual Aid & Ext Agency Alerts

Quickly notify external agencies and mutual aid partners from CAD-driven events to support broader incident coordination without adding dispatcher burden.

Multi-Channel Delivery

Send CAD-driven alerts through HipLink Mobile, SMS, voice, pagers, radios, smartphones, and desktops to match operational needs and responder.

Response Options and Tracking

Include optional two-way response choices and maintain reporting and tracking for review, audits, and operational follow-up.

How It Works

From CAD incident to delivered alert and confirmed response.

01

CAD Generates Incident Data

A CAD event is created and outputs incident data that HipLink can use for automated responder messaging.

02

HipLink Parses & Builds the Message

HipLink can extract critical CAD details and dynamically build a message, including recipients, message text, and optional subject or response choices.

03

HipLink Delivers to the Right Audience

HipLink sends the alert securely to the intended individuals, devices, or recipient groups using the appropriate channels for the incident and audience.

04

Responders Receive Critical Details Quickly

Responders get the information they need in the field, while dispatch spends less time repeating details or manually contacting additional personnel. Optional two-way response choices can also be included when needed.
