ℹ️ As of February 25, 2025, we've introduced two key updates to ELD integrations. First, we now validate credentials before saving, so you’ll instantly know if they’re incorrect, eliminating confusion. Second, the integration card UI has been revamped for clearer status indicators and a more streamlined deactivation process. These improvements aim to make managing integrations faster and more straightforward.
To begin setting up your integration with Master ELD, please make sure you have your subsidiaries set up first. Then, follow the instructions below:
Part 1: Request a Master ELD API Key or generate one from within the platform
Please send an email to your Master ELD representative and request the API Key, or, inquire with the ELD provider on how to generate one yourself.
After you've received/generated your API key, please proceed to Part 2.
Part 2: Enter the Master ELD API Key in Alvys
Once you have your Master ELD API Key, you are ready to configure it within Alvys. Navigate to the Management page within Alvys by clicking the Profile button in the lower left corner, then select "Company Profile".
On the Management page, select the proper subsidiary from the left hand side, then find the Integrations section.
Expand the ELD section of the integrations list and click on the crayon icon from the MasterELD integration box:
This will open a dialog box where you would be prompted to enter the MasterELD API Key. Once those have been entered, please click the Save button:
Part 3: Add the Master ELD asset ID to individual assets within Alvys
*Before beginning part 3, you'll need to have your trucks and/or trailers set up in the Alvys system.
Find the Assets option on the blue Alvys toolbar, then select either trucks or trailers (depending on what you need to set up).
From the list of assets, find and double-click the particular asset you are ready to assign. This will open the Edit Asset page.
On the asset page, scroll down to find the ELD Integrations section, then click the blue Add Integration button. Then, the Add Integration pop-up window will appear.
In the Add Integration window, click the drop-down menu and select MasterELD.
Next, find the MasterELD asset ID, (it can be found as part of the hyperlink when opening that asset in the MasterELD Platform. Ex: https://app.mastereld.com/client/trucks/25236). Then, paste it (25236) into the Integration ID field in the Add Integration window.
Click the blue Save button. Then, repeat steps 2 through 6 for the rest of your MasterELD trucks and/or trailers. After you've completed this step for applicable assets, then you're done! Great job!
