Connect Strava

Before you start

• You need a Strava account and its login.
• Connecting works the same on the web, iPhone and Android: all three use the same Integrations page.
• Strava shares activities only. For sleep, recovery or daily activity, connect your watch or ring directly as well.

Connect Strava

1. Open the side menu and select Integrations. On the web it opens in a new tab.
2. Find Strava (use Find an app or device or the Activity filter) and select Connect.
3. Sign in to Strava. On Strava’s permission screen, leave every box ticked, including access to your private activities, and approve.
4. You’re returned to Beoflow and the Strava card shows Connected.

What syncs

• Your last 60 days of activities are imported after you connect.
• From then on, each new activity arrives shortly after it reaches Strava.
• For each activity Beoflow imports its summary and its heart rate, power, cadence and speed over time.
• If you edit an activity on Strava, Beoflow updates it. If you delete it on Strava, it’s removed from Beoflow.

Resync recent data

1. On the Strava card, open the options menu (⋮).
2. Select Resync. Beoflow fetches your last 14 days from Strava again.

You can resync once every few minutes. If you try sooner you’ll see “Just did that. Give it a few minutes before trying again.”

Reconnect Strava

Reconnect when private activities are missing or nothing new is arriving.

1. On the Strava card, open ⋮ and select Disconnect, then confirm.
2. Select Connect and sign in again, leaving every permission ticked.

On iPhone, if your Strava connection can’t see private activities, the Today screen shows STRAVA CAN’T SEE EVERYTHING with a Reconnect Strava button that takes you to Integrations.

Disconnect Strava

1. On the Strava card, open ⋮ and select Disconnect.
2. Confirm with Disconnect.

Beoflow stops receiving new activities and asks Strava to remove its access. Activities already imported stay in Beoflow. You can reconnect at any time.

Troubleshooting

• Private activities are missing. You connected without the private-activity permission. Reconnect and leave every box ticked.
• “Couldn’t connect Strava”. The sign-in or permission step didn’t finish. Select Try again, or Back to integrations to start over.
• A new activity hasn’t appeared. Check it’s on Strava first. Then open ⋮, select Resync, and give it a few minutes. Still missing? Reconnect.
• Each workout shows twice. The same session came from Strava and from your watch connected directly. On the Integrations page, open the Processing preferences tab and put your preferred source first.
• Help on the card. Open ⋮ and select Where is my data? for a short checklist.

FAQ

• How do I connect a device? Open the side menu, select Integrations, pick your device and select Connect, then follow the prompts on the provider’s sign-in page.
• Does Strava send my sleep or recovery? No. Strava shares activities only.
• Does Beoflow post to Strava? No. Beoflow only reads from Strava.
• Can I import more than 60 days? The first import covers 60 days, and Resync covers the last 14 days.

Privacy

• What Beoflow reads: your Strava activities (public and private) and your Strava profile. It never posts, edits or deletes anything on Strava.
• Who can see it: you, and anyone you have given access to your data, such as a coach.
• Removing access: Disconnect in Beoflow also revokes Beoflow’s access at Strava.
