Integrating Pia with CloudRadial

CloudRadial can integrate directly with Pia SmartForms. SmartForms streamline client interactions and automate workflows, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.

Why add Pia's forms in addition to your own in CloudRadial? Because they offer:

• Dynamic Digital Forms – Lets you capture client information effortlessly, reducing manual entry and errors.
• Zero-Touch Automation – Allow your clients to trigger processes themselves, minimizing engineering involvement, from directly within their own CloudRadial portal.
• Real-Time Data & Verification – Ensure accuracy with up-to-date, validated information.
• End-to-End Visibility – Keep clients informed with real-time request updates with visibility within CloudRadial's own ticket viewing section of the feature set.

These forms can be added inside of CloudRadial's own Problem Report and Service Request areas of the feature set. Follow the instructions below to activate these forms for users in your CloudRadial portal.

2. Navigate to Partner > Settings 
3. Select Integrations under the Configuration column and select Pia

     • Ex: cloudradial.forms.pia.ai
   • The format of the URL should be as follows:
     • [Partner Name].forms.pia.ai
     • You can access this URL by logging into your Pia tenant, navigating to SmarForms, and selecting Open Portal
       
       
       
       
5. Select Submit to finalize the integration 

You will now have two new content packages under Partner > Content. They will both be named Pia SmartForms. You'll have one of each identically named package under your Problem Reports and Service Request areas of Content. 

5. Displaying a Pia SmartForm in CloudRadial

Once you have both enabled authentication and enabled the integration, you can add in your forms as individual pieces of content within a content package. To do so:

1. Navigate to Partner > Content inside of CloudRadial
2. Select your preferred Pia SmartForms content package
   • Reminder: This is located in both Problem Reports and Service Requests areas
3. Add a new item within the package and enter the details of the form
   • Note that Form Id will be specific to individual forms.
     • To find this ID easily, log into Pia as an administrator.
     • From there, navigate to SmartForms and select the Forms button
     • Select the button to copy the ID of the form to paste back in CloudRadial
       
       
       
       
4. Select Submit to finalize the form creation

As with any other type of CloudRadial content, you must select the Publish button in the content package settings to send the form to users.

Users will now be able to access their forms if the authentication matches for companies, users, and specific forms.
