๐Ÿ”Œ Part One: Connect Your LoneStar Account

  2. โš™๏ธ Open API Key settings
    On the left-hand side, navigate to:
    โ€‹Settings โ†’ API Keys

    Create a new API key and set:

    • Available Vehicles: All Access

    • Available Actions: All Access

  4. ๐Ÿ’พ Save and copy the API key

    Inside your RentFlow subaccount, navigate to Fleet.

  6. ๐Ÿ”— Click โ€œConnect to LoneStarโ€
    At the top of the Fleet page, click Connect to LoneStar.

๐Ÿท๏ธ Part Two: Link Your Trailers to Their Trackers

  1. โž• Add your trailers manually
    Under the manually added section, click Add Trailer.

  2. ๐Ÿ“‚ Find the correct trailer name
    This must exactly match what is shown inside your subaccount.

  3. ๐Ÿ“ Copy the trailer VALUE (not the name)
    Inside your subaccount, go to:
    โ€‹Settings โ†’ Custom Values โ†’ Folders โ†’ Unit Names/Types
    Then copy only the actual custom value assigned to that trailer.

  4. ๐Ÿ“ฅ Paste the value into the trailer name field
    Return to the Fleet tab and paste that value into the Trailer Name field.
    You can enter anything you'd like for the description.

  5. ๐Ÿ’พ Save the trailer

  6. ๐Ÿ”— Link the trailer to RideDog
    Scroll down and click Link to RideDog, then select the correct tracker to attach to that trailer.

  7. ๐Ÿšฆ Optional: Configure maintenance alerts
    After linking trackers, you can optionally configure maintenance alerts with mileage-based service reminders.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip
The trailer name inside the Fleet tab must exactly match the trailerโ€™s custom value in your CRM. This is how the system properly connects GPS tracking, trips, and geofence activity to the correct rental unit.
