Users can share such links through any communication channel, from text messages and emails to messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and more.
List of active links
With the Geo links, users can create up to 10k of active links to share with both internal and external users. The feature allows users to add, edit, and delete links.
Master users have the ability to manage the links of subusers. When a subuser is deleted, their links and other assets automatically transfer to the master user. Developers can also automate link creation, editing, and deletion using a set of API methods (see /shared_link).
Configuring link parameters
For each location sharing link, users have the flexibility to configure various settings, including the list of monitored assets, the option to share sensor information alongside location data, link validity duration, and the choice to enable historical data viewing in addition to real-time information.
Let us delve into more details regarding the link parameters:
1. Monitored assets (required at least one). Select the desired objects for monitoring, including Vehicles, Drivers, Assets, or GPS tracking devices. You can choose individual assets or groups of assets. For each asset you will be able to configure:
- Label: Select the desired objects for monitoring, such as vehicles, drivers, assets, or GPS tracking devices. Users can choose individual assets or groups of assets. For each asset, users can modify the label that link recipients will see, providing customization options.
- Sensors (optional): Share information from connected sensors in addition to location data. This can include cargo temperature, vehicle speed, ignition status, and more. This valuable information will be visible to individuals with whom the link is shared, providing insights into the asset's status.
2. Link validity duration (optional). Choose the duration of location sharing from preset options like 15 minutes, 1 hour, or 8 hours. Alternatively, users can set an exact date and time range when the link will be valid. Time zones can be adjusted based on the user's preference.
Embedding Location Sharing into your apps
After creating the link, embedding the map widget into your apps is a straightforward process. This allows for seamless integration and a cohesive user experience.
