Samsara

Business software

Built when you ask for it

Sync Samsara vehicle, driver, route, and safety event data into your warehouse. Ingest builds this connector the first time a customer asks for it, then keeps the tables current in a data warehouse you own, on the schedule you choose.

The Samsara connector syncs your IoT fleet and asset-tracking data into analytics-ready tables in your data warehouse. Pull vehicles, drivers, routes, and safety events from the Samsara API, with Ingest handling auth, pagination, and retries so the tables stay current.

What you would get

Each of these arrives as its own table, kept current on the schedule you choose:

  • Vehicles
  • Drivers
  • Routes
  • Safety events

How it gets built

  1. Choose Samsara when you set up a pipeline, with the warehouse it goes to and a schedule.
  2. Ingest reads Samsara's documentation, and you choose the tables you want.
  3. Ingest builds the connector and tests it against Samsara itself.
  4. A person at Ingest reviews and publishes it, and your pipeline starts on its own.

What you will need

API token (Bearer); OAuth 2.0 for marketplace apps. Create a token in the Samsara Dashboard under Settings > API Tokens > "Add an API Token"; shown once.

You enter it once, in a form in Ingest, and it is kept in a secret store set aside for your organization.

Questions

Does Ingest have a Samsara connector?
Not as a finished connector yet. Ingest builds it from Samsara's own documentation the first time a customer asks, tests it against the real service, and lists it once it passes.
Which warehouses can Samsara data go to?
Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL and Snowflake, in an account you own.
Do I need to write code?
No. Ingest builds, runs and maintains the connector. Someone with access to your warehouse connects it once, following a short guide.

Samsara API documentation: https://developers.samsara.com

Setting up the destination is its own short guide, one per warehouse or lake: Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL, Snowflake.

Other sources Ingest connects for SaaS teams: Asana, Jira, Airtable, Clockify, Facebook Ads, Frankfurter.
