Samsara Integration

With the ilert Samsara integration, you can create alerts in ilert based on Samsara events.

If Samsara's fleet management system identifies a problem, such as a vehicle malfunction or a driver safety incident, ilert can promptly send alerts to the relevant team members, ensuring a quick response. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to connect Samsara and ilert.

In ilert: Create a Samsara alert source

Go to Alert sources -> Alert sources and click on Create new alert source.
Search for Samsara in the search field, click on the Samsara tile, and click Next.
Give your alert source a name, optionally assign teams, and click Next.
Select an escalation policy by creating a new one or assigning an existing one.
Select your Alert grouping preference and click Continue setup. You may click Do not group alerts for now and change it later.
The next page shows additional settings, such as customer alert templates or notification priority. Click Finish setup for now.
On the final page, an API key and / or webhook URL will be generated that you will need later in this guide.

In Samsara: Create a webhook

In the sidebar, click on the Alert bell icon.

On the next screen, click on Create Alert.

Now select a desired Trigger.

Now open the Add Action menu and choose Send Webhook.

A new tab will open. Now click on Manage.

Click on Add Webhook.

Enter a Name, the ilert alert source URL created in this step into the Payload URL field, and select some desired Event Subscriptions.
Click on Create to finish the webhook setup.
