Integration Guide
Samsara
Bring fleet and equipment awareness to the screens in your stations from Samsara — fuel, odometer, engine state and location, all at a glance.
What we can put on your dashboard
Vehicle stats
Per-unit detail, so a crew can see the state of a rig without walking out to it.
- Unit or vehicle name / ID
- Fuel percentage
- Odometer reading in miles
- Engine on or off
- Aux input — whatever you have wired to it, such as lights or siren
Full screen map
Last known location of each unit, labelled with the unit name.
What we need from you
An API token, which you generate inside your Samsara dashboard. Samsara’s authentication documentation covers how, and includes a video under two minutes long that walks through creating one.
Open a ticket at our support center first, then submit the credentials through the First Arriving Secrets Tool and paste the link it generates into your ticket. Please don’t send them by email or chat. Full instructions: Sending First Arriving sensitive information.
About vendor charges: data or API access could carry an additional charge, determined by Samsara and not by First Arriving.
