IFTTT Body Fat

I would love to see the ability to use Body Fat as an ingredient when making IFTTT recipes. BMI and weight are options, but I don't see Body Fat.

Hi, any update on this? Also user name as an ingredient would be good to have to distinguish all the connected users we possibly may have.

I'd also love to have this-- it would save me and my friends a lot of work for our group motivation and would make it easier for us to include new people.  please let us know if you plan on doing this!

This should be the easiest thing in the world to add. Come on! Everyone would like this, please!

I've been waiting for so long for this feature, so I can export body fat data to a spreadsheet. Please Fitbit, this sound like a really small thing to develop, but would mean a lot for me! Please implement this feature.

PLEASE Add support for Body Fat % in your API and let IFTTT know!!!

Who is able to add this feature? Is it Fitbit or IFTTT?

Export to a spreadsheet isn't implemented properly, currently only my weight and BMI is logged into a spreadsheet, but not my wife's and her privacy settings allows me to see her stats (I can see them via web).

Adding on here for this feature- I am a longtime Fitbit user, and unless Fitbit can offer direct Google Spreadsheet support, they need to publish BF% to IFTTT.

Is this thread even monitored by fitbit or we are wasting our time?

I would like to see this feature added as well. This has been requested by users for a long time and should be a very simple feature to add. Is there any update on this request?

One more vote for having Body Fat % on the information that can be uploaded to a spreadsheet! Looks like this request over two years old now with no feedback from Fitbit...

I second this... allow BF % ingredient.  I wonder how difficult this would be to integrate.... Seems like it'd be just as easy to integrate as {{weight}}.

I can't imagine this would be a hard addition -- but would be really helpful!

Hi @facemagoo thanks for this suggestion. In terms of an update, there aren't currently plans to make this available in the API - we will let you know if that changes. Thanks

There is an ifttt ingredient for weight but not target weight, and there doesn’t seem to be one for body fat percentage.

 I want to create an ifttt applet that notifies me when I reach my targets for weight and body fat.

I'm confused. This information is already available in the API: https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/body/

Could we get this re-evaluated? What are the technical hurdles?

 

This would make the choice between Fitbit Aria 2 and the Withings/Nokia scale a bit easier.

Now that we offer the body fat information with our Body & Weight Web API, I'm changing the status from "Not currently planned" to "Reviewed". Note that it doesn't mean that we'll do the integration, but it's now possible. Since we have a lot of integration requests, we also highly suggest asking IFTTT themselves to add this feature as they can easily do it by using the mentioned API below.

Same... I'm on Withings now. Y'all just don't seem to care about your customers at all...
