There are two ways that you can receive notifications when a DVIR defect is reported by your mechanics or drivers: You can set up an alert from Samsara (see ) or you can set up a webhook to enable Samsara to send an HTTP request to your application when an event occurs.
After you Set up Alerts through the Samsara Dashboard, the alert is triggered any time a new individual defect is detected on a newly submitted safe or unsafe DVIR. Alerts are not created for pre-existing defects. Note that if a DVIR has 5 defects reported on it, 5 alerts and 5 incidents will be triggered, 1 ms apart.

Additionally, you can request DVIR details (including defects) using webhooks, which is configurable for all currently available DVIR alerts. For more information on setting up webhooks, refer to the webhook documentation.
The webhook payload includes the following:
|

Vehicle |
Samsara vehicle id and name for the vehicle |

Trailer |
Samsara trailer id and name for the trailer |
