Are there limitations on what data can be transferred between Salesforce and Samsara?
Data transfer capabilities depend largely on the APIs provided by each service. While most customer and vehicle-related data can be exchanged, some proprietary or highly sensitive information might not be supported due to API restrictions.

Samsara events such as 'New Safety Alert' or 'Updated Sensor Reading' can trigger a variety of actions in Salesforce like creating tasks, updating records, or sending notifications to specific team members.
Do I need coding skills to implement triggers and actions for this integration?
