Requirement

The receiving system should be able to interpret this file to process it by either of the following methods:

  1. Using the link and directly loading the image from the URL provided.

  2. Processing each image by downloading the image from the URL and storing it in the receiving system's own file store.

Caveats

  • The availability of the POD is dependent on the carrier sending efm the POD image. efm is not responsible for any missing POD for an confirmed integrated carrier.

  • efm can only send these files to you and not process the information directly into your IT system.

  • This is the only option for sending POD links as we can’t guarantee the filename because PODs may contain Personally Identifiable Information so they need to be obfuscated.
