Frequently Asked Questions
viaSocket connects to CIM using CIM’s API or alert/webhook outputs. When CIM sends an alert or report, viaSocket receives it, maps data fields, and triggers downstream actions (work orders, messages, reports) — no custom code required.
Yes. Set rules that turn CIM alerts into structured work orders with location, fault details, and priority. You can also attach recent sensor readings and trend links so technicians have context before arrival.
Yes. viaSocket can include an AI step to classify CIM alerts by severity or likely root cause, then route or escalate them accordingly. This reduces false positives and focuses human attention on the highest-impact issues.
Most common workflows can be configured in days, not weeks. viaSocket uses prebuilt connectors and simple mapping tools so facilities teams or operators can set up automations without dedicated developers.
