Safety Events ID
The safety events endpoint (fleet/safety-events) includes an "id" for the event in the data section.
The "id" appears to be the truck-id followed by a dash then another number which also looks like an id. Is this second number unique on it's own or only with the truck id prefix?

Off-Duty Certification
Does Samsara require drivers to certify off-duty logs, or do the drivers have the ability to certify the logs?
Thank you

Different type off notification dependant on type of submitted document
Hi,
For the notifications specifically on 'submitted document by driver' I want to create 2 events:
1. For 'ongevallen' I want to send a SMS and mail
2. For 'urenbriefje' and 'Ritdocumenten' I want to call my webhook.
It looks like you can only create one event per type of document, is that correct? And if so, is this possible to change?

Custom Attributes
Are the custom attributes visible anywhere in the UI?

We would love to have an endpoint for the Speeding event feed.
I could post a picture, but there is a section where we can drill down on a driver and see their speeding events against posted speed limits. There is an event table and a way to retrieve all of these as they happen would be very beneficial. We can grab the current speed of a vehicle, but the speeding events are not available anywhere in the safety event feeds.

Latest Trip Per Vehicle
Our ultimate goal is to locate drivers (not vehicles)... Drivers with statically assigned vehicles is easy as it is just a 1-to-1 with the vehicle. But for our key fob drivers that share vehicles this is proving more problematic.
The vehicle endpoint will give the current fob driver (under the staticAssignedDriver attribute which seems incorrect, non the less gives it which is good) but this is only valid while they are near the vehicle and for up to an hour after it was turned off. Also, if another key fob driver walked by the vehicle this is lost. So, the only option seems to be the trip endpoint. But this endpoint requires a call for each vehicle and for a date range. Which adds a lot of overhead on what we are trying to accomplish.
The two questions we have:
1. Is there a better way to query trip history for just the latest single record for each vehicle?
2. Is there a better way to see the last vehicle association for a key fob driver?
Thanks a lot for any guidance!

Time-out setting on webhook
Hi,
Currently we using the webhook for 'ritdocumenten ingediend'. In the webhook we're doing an request to the Samsara API to create anPDF. We've noticed that sometimes they photo's in the PDF aren't available. We suspect because we do the request for the PDF to quickly right after the webhook. Our first solution was to create an delay in the webhook, but as you documents are stating this is not preferred, as you wish to do such tasks asynchronously. What is the maxium time we can delay and perhaps you do have another solution or approach?

Require arrival notes
Is there a way to require drivers to add notations to each of their arrivals. IE- reach destination but customer did not answer for pick up.
