Target Audience

This workflow is ideal for:
- Fitness Enthusiasts: Individuals who actively use Strava to track their workouts and want to integrate this data with their Beeminder goals.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of manually logging activities from Strava into Beeminder, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. By automating this process, users can ensure that their fitness activities are accurately reflected in their Beeminder goals without additional effort, enhancing accountability and motivation.

Workflow Steps

  • Trigger: The workflow is initiated manually through a Strava event, specifically when a new activity is created.
    2. Data Capture: The Strava Trigger node captures details of the new activity, such as its name and other relevant metrics.
    3. Beeminder Integration: The captured data is then sent to the Beeminder node, which logs this information under a specified goal (in this case, 'testing').
    4. Comment Addition: A comment is automatically generated using the name of the activity from Strava, providing context for the logged data in Beeminder.
  • Customization Guide

    Users can customize this workflow by:
    - Changing the Goal Name: Update the 'goalName' parameter in the Beeminder node to reflect your specific fitness goal.
    - Modifying the Comment: Adjust the comment format in the Beeminder node to include additional details or metrics from the Strava activity.
    - Event Type: Change the 'event' parameter in the Strava Trigger to capture different types of activities (e.g., 'update' for existing activities) based on user needs.
    - Additional Fields: Add more fields in the Beeminder node to log extra data, such as distance or duration, if supported by the Beeminder API.
