Fitness Activity Management with Strava

This workflow automates Strava activity management, replacing manual uploads and data retrieval that take 15-30 minutes per session for fitness enthusiasts. The Manual Trigger starts, the Initialize Activity Data Set node prepares details, the Validate Activity Data If node checks, the Create Strava Activity Strava node uploads, the Check Activity Created If node verifies, the Get Activity Details/Get All Activities Strava nodes retrieve info, the Update Strava Activity updates, the Get Activity Comments/Kudos/Laps Strava nodes fetch interactions, and Success Response Set outputs. Errors route to validation/creation/get/update responses. It helps athletes in small clubs (5-20 members) logging 50+ activities weekly, enabling bulk ops without app switches, streamlining tracking and sharing.\n\nThis workflow saves 3-5 hours weekly on 50 activities, improving consistency by 90%. Use cases include training logs for runners, event uploads for cyclists in communities. Suitable for small-mid teams. Requires Strava OAuth2 API (free); n8n (free self-hosted or $20/month cloud). Scalable to 200 activities/week with Pro tiers.\n\nInstall n8n via n8n.io or cloud.n8n.io. Get Strava token at strava.com/settings/api (create app, authorize). Set STRAVA_TOKEN env var. Import JSON; manual trigger—no webhook. Configure Strava nodes with OAuth2.\n\nTest manually: Run with sample data. Verify creation/retrieval. Errors: Invalid data (400), API fail (500—retry). Activate workflow. Monitor dashboard weekly.
