In order to integrate Samsara with your Datatruck account, please follow these steps below:  

Step 1: Generate Your Samsara API Token

1. Log in to your Samsara Admin Dashboard.

2. Go to API Tokens.

3. A checklist of data permissions will appear (such as MPG, location, fuel level, etc.).
   Checklist the options you want to share with Datatruck.

4. Click “Add New Token.”

5. Name the token Datatruck

6. Click Create Token.

7. Copy the API token. You’ll need this for the next step.

Step 2: Connect Samsara to Datatruck

1. Go to your Datatruck account.

2. Navigate to:
   Settings > Integrations > Telematics

3. Locate Samsara and click “Get Started.”

4. In the Input Token field, paste the API token you copied from Samsara.

5. Click “Connect to Samsara.”

You’ve now successfully integrated Samsara with Datatruck!

Step 3: Verify Your Integration

Once connected:

1. Double-click on the Samsara integration screen to open the details page.

2. You’ll see:

   • Total number of trucks

   • Number of connected trucks

3. If you notice any discrepancy between the total number of trucks and the number of connected trucks, click on “Sync Trucks” to update the connection.

If some trucks are not syncing properly, it may be due to:

• Inactive trucks 

• VIN numbers mismatch between Samsara and Datatruck

Please verify the truck VIN numbers in both platforms and confirm that the vehicles are active.

• A checklist of telematics options that you can checkmark such as:

• Location

• Fuel level

• MPG

• Diagnostic codes

• Odometer   
• Running Time
  By turning any of this off will result in no information regarding that option.

(The demo screenshot shows 0 connected trucks, but it should reflect the same number as the total trucks)

Your Samsara account is now seamlessly connected to the Datatruck platform. This setup helps you reduce manual tracking, improve operational efficiency, and keep everything in one centralized system.
