Strava Overview#

The Strava API lets you tap into the robust data from Strava's fitness app, which is a playground for athletes worldwide to track their workouts. With Pipedream, you can automate actions based on activities uploaded to Strava, such as running, biking, or swimming. Imagine syncing workout data to spreadsheets for analysis, auto-posting achievements to social media, or integrating with calendar apps for better scheduling. Pipedream's serverless platform makes it a breeze to create workflows that can listen for Strava webhooks, process data, and trigger actions in countless other apps.

Trigger Code#

import strava from "../../strava.app.mjs"; export default { key: "strava-activity-updated", name: "New Activity Updated Event", description: "Emit new event when an activity is updated", version: "0.0.2", type: "source", props: { strava, stravaApphook: { type: "$.interface.apphook", appProp: "strava", eventNames: [ "activity.update", ], }, }, async run(event) { console.log(event); let details; try { details = await this.strava.getActivity({ activityId: event.object_id, }); } catch (err) { console.log(`Error fetching activity details: ${err}`); } let summary = "Activity updated"; if (details && details.name) { summary += `: ${details.name}`; } this.$emit( { event, details, }, { summary, ts: event.event_time * 1000, }, ); }, };

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.
