Fitbit to work together with Slimming World Body Magic

I'd like to make a suggestion to Fitbit to work in conjunction with Slimming Worlds Body Magic , basically for those in Slimming World Groups they have a Body Magic Awards of how much excercise you do a week, but it's not really warranted and it's by your say so if you do them each week, if it was calculated How many steps where done to earn an award then this could be taken into account with the Fitbit device, so if it was calculated with fitbit then they would sell more devices , pretty much like how Iceland are working together with there slimming world meals

I can’t tell about possible future plans for this integration on our side, but I still wanted to highlight the fact that many integrations are done by the 3rd party application or service. Even if we don’t do it ourselves, Slimming World Body Magic developers would be able to integrate with us by using our Web API. It gives the opportunities to read many Fitbit’s user data (with their permission) and add more like exercises and food.

Fitbit can you clearly state if it’s your company or slimming world that is resisting linking up in order for us to access body magic . Weight Watchers clearly embraced the concept years ago. If Slimming World is being difficult us as members can voice our concern directly to them ! We just need to know🙏

Dear community members, thanks for sharing this suggestion. Our web API and smartwatch SDK are open which means that the service you are wanting can actually integrate with Fitbit! We’d encourage you to make your suggestion to the service and direct them to our existing API and SDK and resources such as the web dev API community. You will likely be able to email them via their contact us page or customer support, or they may have their own ideas board like this. Or encourage them to reach out to Fitbit directly! Thanks for your participation in the Feature Suggestion forums, we look forward to making Fitbit more useful for you.

Hi @Hshad1987, thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about syncing with Slimming Word app. I've moved it into a similar request. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs. Click on the thumbs-up to show your support.
