Samsara Integration

Save time and eliminate the need to input driver information into multiple systems. By connecting Samsara and DriverHub through an API, your system will be ready for roster synchronization, allowing hired drivers from DriverHub to seamlessly flow into Samsara.

You can manage API Tokens for secure access to the API on Samsara's API Tokens settings page. 

To create an API token, you must be assigned a Full Admin or Standard Admin role or a Custom Roles with the following permissions.

• Edit permissions to see and edit API Tokens
• Edit permissions to create, edit, and delete users, roles, tags

In both cases, your role must have access to manage the Entire Organization. Roles that use Tags for reduced scope (also known as Tag-Level Admins) are not sufficient.You can request and delete as many API Tokens as required.

Set Up an API Token

1. Select the Settings icon (gear icon) at the bottom of your Samsara dashboard to view dashboard settings.

2. Select API Tokens.
   
   

3. Click + Add an API Token.

4. Define the token properties:

   • Enter a descriptive Name for your API token that describes the primary purpose.
   • Select the level of Tag Access for your token. For more on tags, see Tags.
   • Select a Permission Scope for your API token.
     • For more information, see the following resources on the Samsara Developers Portal:
       • To set scopes for API tokens, see API Authentication.
       • To create API tokens for third-party integrations, see 3rd Party Integration Tokens.
5. Save your changes.
6. After you create the token, copy it as shown below. The token will become unreadable after the page is refreshed, so be sure to record the token string in a secure location.
   
   
7. Email the API Token to your Avatar CSM.

Once you connect Samsara to DriverHub through the API, your vehicles will appear in the Incident Management module. This will help you monitor incidents linked to the appropriate vehicle.
