Step 1: Setup a new account in Geotab
1. Login to the Geotab Dashboard and manually create a new user for the integration.
2. Go to > People > Users & Drivers > Click on the "+" button on the top right hand corner
3. Enter the following details:
Username (Email): “whiparound-service@[your company email domain]”
First name: Whip Around
Last name: Service
Authentication type: Basic Authentication
Force password change on next login: select “No”
Password: [type a new password] Remember this password
Security clearance: Administrator
Step 2: Activate integration in Whip Around
1. Login to the Whip Around Dashboard
2. Go to Settings > Integrations and click the Activate button in the Geotab integration box.
3. Use the credentials created during the previous step:
Username: whiparound-service@[your company email domain]
Password: [the new password you typed in Geotab]
Note: if your Geotab system is managed by AT&T Fleet Management, or Government, you will need to select the respective option in the Service Provider drop-down in order to direct to the correct host server. However, the vast majority of our integration customers will use the Default option.
Step 3: Install Geotab Add-Ins
On the Geotab Dashboard
1. Go to System on the left hand menu > Select Settings > Click on Add-Ins tab and set “Allow unverified Add-Ins” to “Yes”
2. On the same view, Click on "+ Add-In"
3. Copy and paste the code snippet below into the popup window under "Configuration", and click "Done"
