Every event type gets its own topic, and every alert carries the truck number, so searching one truck pulls up everything it has ever done.
Real screenshots from a fleet running this. Names, plates and locations are blurred for this page, not in your group.
Samsara already sees all of this. Nobody is watching it.
The Samsara dashboard
Someone has to be logged in and refreshing it. A busy week is thousands of events, and everyone you want looking needs their own seat.
Email alerts
They bury an inbox, they are not instant, and every one of them still ends with somebody opening the dashboard.
The group chat you already have
Open on every phone in the company. The video is in the message, and everybody sees the same thing at the same time.
Safety events, with the video
Both camera angles play right in the message. Nobody logs in to watch fifteen seconds of a driver on their phone.
Speeding, over your limit
How fast, how long, and where. You pick the threshold, so 3 over stays quiet and 15 over does not.
Engine faults, in plain text
Which warning light came on and what the code means, so your shop knows before the truck gets there.
Everything it watches for
Turn off the ones you do not want. Anything Samsara adds later still comes through, it just arrives without a nickname until we give it one.
Every Friday
Three boards get pinned in the group
The last seven days: what happened, who drove clean, and who is burning the fuel.
Every event type for the week, and whether each one is better or worse than last week.
Why not just watch the events in Samsara?+
Because somebody has to be logged in and refreshing. A busy fleet throws thousands of events a week, and everyone you want watching needs their own Samsara seat. Email alerts are worse: they bury an inbox, they are not instant, and they still end with someone opening the dashboard. Your Telegram group is already open on every phone, and the video plays in the message.
Where does our data go?+
Onto our own server in AWS us-east-1, inside a private network. Nothing is written to a database and nothing leaves that server. Alerts pass straight through to your group and are gone. The weekly boards are built fresh from Samsara each time they run.
Does this replace Samsara?+
No. It reads the Samsara account you already pay for and posts what it finds to Telegram. Samsara stays exactly as it is.
Will it spam our group?+
No. Nothing is ever sent twice, speeding only posts past the limit you set, engine faults have to stay on before they alert, and anything your team already dismissed in Samsara never shows up. Each behaviour also gets its own topic, so phone-use alerts do not bury everything else.
Can drivers get their own alerts?+
Yes. You can send chosen events to a driver's own group chat, on a separate threshold from the main one, so a driver hears about 15 over without the whole office watching every 3 over.
What if a truck has no camera, or the video will not load?+
You still get the alert as text, with the driver, the truck, the time and a map link. The video is a bonus, never a requirement.
