Steps
Confirm the integration role: human WYO staff log into Pivot via browser with username/password, while vendor systems integrate through the CAP Service API in near real time.
Build transaction uploads for policy and claims data conforming to the requirements that replaced the legacy TRRP manuals when Pivot became NFIP's system of record.
Ensure claims transactions are uploaded to Pivot within one business day of processing and that claims adjustment tracks toward the 45-calendar-day average FEMA monitors.
Account for daily Community Information System (CIS) updates — flood zone and community NFIP participation status — that Pivot ingests via web-service inquiry, since eligibility depends on current community status.
Reconcile submissions against FEMA's Flood Insurance Claims Manual and the current fiscal-year WYO Arrangement notice, since terms are republished annually in the Federal Register.
Known gotchas
The CAP Service API's detailed endpoint/field specification is not published in open public documentation — WYO/vendor onboarding happens through FEMA's WYO program agreements, not open self-service docs.
Reporting deadlines (one-business-day upload, 45-day average claims cycle) are compliance requirements with WYO-arrangement consequences, not just performance targets.
The annual Arrangement notice can change program terms year to year (FY2026 vs FY2027 notices differ) — don't hardcode a single year's terms into a long-lived integration.
