Why fleets connect Slack to Traknova
Fleet managers who use Slack for internal communication do not want to switch to the Traknova dashboard every time they need to check for alerts. The Slack integration brings Traknova notifications into the channels your team already monitors, so the right people see the right alerts without needing to be logged in to Traknova.
What you get
Geofence alerts in Slack
When a vehicle enters or exits a defined zone, the alert is sent to your chosen Slack channel immediately. Vehicle name, time and zone all included in the message.
Speeding notifications
Speeding events from any vehicle in your Traknova account are sent to Slack in real time. Configure thresholds by vehicle group or route type.
Driver monitoring alerts
Harsh braking, harsh acceleration and driver score drops are sent to Slack so your team can respond quickly without logging in to Traknova.
MOT and tax reminders
Upcoming MOT and tax renewal reminders from Traknova's DVLA integration are sent to Slack at your configured intervals.
Configurable channels
Route different alert types to different Slack channels. Send geofence alerts to ops, driver events to HR and MOT reminders to the fleet manager channel.
Webhook-based connection
The Traknova Slack integration uses Slack's incoming webhook. No app installation from Slack's app marketplace required for basic alert forwarding.
