RemotePhoto (CloudCard) Integration Setup
The EliteID RemotePhoto (formerly CloudCard) integration offers users the capability to send invitations and manage photo submissions within EliteID seamlessly.
Note: The CloudCard integration settings menu is located in EliteID and will only be displayed to clients that have opted-in for the service.
Requirements
There are a few basic requirements to complete the CloudCard Integration setup.
A CloudCard subscription
A CloudCard Persistent Access Token
An Email address field must be present on the Person form
EliteID users will require the EliteID:Photos permission to access the Photos page.
Create and Validate the Persistent Access Token
CloudCard Directors will create a Persistent Access Token for a service account via the CloudCard user interface.
The below steps are performed in CloudCard.
Sign-in to the CloudCard app using a Director role account - CloudCard Online Photo Submission
To avoid possible service disruption issues we recommend the PAT be created for a non-user account.
Navigate to People then Add
Enter a real email address or a fictitious email such as “EliteID-PAT@yourschool.edu” then Save
Select the option to view the Person then scroll down to enable the Director, Email Editor, Office, and Service roles. Save then refresh the page.
Under Persistent Access Tokens click NEW
Enter a Description such as “EliteID Integration”. Set Max Uses to Unlimited and Days Until Expiration to 365 or higher then Create.
Copy the Token Value into clipboard and a txt file for safe keeping then Close
The EliteID Integration PAT will be listed
Paste the PAT into the EliteID Persistent Access Token field then Validate
Complete the Person Field and CloudCard Field mapping
Return to EliteID then navigate to Administration > Settings > CloudCard.
In the Email Field droplist select the designated email field. If no field is listed you must first open Form Designer then add an email field to the form, then return to the setup.
Map the First and Last Name Person Field to the equivalent CloudCard Field one at a time.
Enable the Integration and Save
Select the Enable CloudCard Integration checkbox to enable it.
Click the Save button before leaving the page!
The integration setup is complete.
Background Removal
Enable the Enable background removal for EliteID photos option to remove photo backgrounds from any image captured or uploaded in EliteID.
This feature is available to customers who have a RemotePhoto subscription with the background removal add-on.
Test Environment
Use Switch Environment to change from the CloudCard Production to Test, and vice versa.
Warning: Switching environments will reset your persistent access token and custom field map.
