Can Blaze upload to strava?

[Shepps]

Will the new blaze be able to upload to strava like the surge can?

I don't see why it won't, your Surge does not connect to Strava, but it is your Fitbit account that does. So what ever tracker is connected to your account, will have its data sent to Strava.

Hi, @Shepps , Blaze will have the same connectivity with Strava as the other trackers do.

i was just going to ask this. I'm so glad there is Strava support.

Ive linked my Fitbit account to my Strava account but it doesn't upload? Have I missed something or done something wrong? I've just done a run which my Fitbit blaze has logged distance, speed and time and I'd like it to be uploaded to my Strava but it doesn't seem to do it.

My run also has not uploaded. Usually it is quite quick. Maybe a server or interfacing issue?

[SunsetRunner]

Not sure if this is a factor or not in your issue, but as an FYI, Fitbit will only upload/sync to Strava activities that have GPS data or, in other words, are manually started from the Blaze (under Exercise). Automatically detected activities will not upload/sync to Strava.

That's correct.  I recently just connected by blaze to Strava.  On runs initiated on my watch the workout shows in strava about 5 minutes later.  Great integration

Reading some other threads I think I've found out my issue but if someone from Fitbit could confirm it I would  appreciate it.

I have a Windows phone (Lumia 950) and my issue is to do with the bluetooth connectivity which doesn't use GATT unlike Android and Apple devices.

I really hope this isn't the case and its just something I'm doing wrong.

Hello @Shep23 what is tye issue that your having? The GATT only has to do with notifacations. 

Connecting your data to Strava has nothing to do with your tracker or app. Please see the top pinned post in this forum.

As for GATT windows has now got it and Fitbit is testing it.

Hi, my issue is im trying to upload my runs and rides to strava but when I go on the exercise bit on my Fitbit it says "phone not found" or "check Fitbit app".

My phone connects to my Fitbit as it logs everything like steps and sleep but when I want to exercise it doesn't work?

[Rich_Laue]

See @AndrewFitbit's post here, only GPS tracked exercise will be retrieved by strava.

Is your tracker not syncing to your Fitbit account? If it isn't  tyen please ask in the proper forum for your tracker.

[Shep23]

Hi. Yes it is connecting to my account

[Rich_Laue]

I did not ask if it was connected, i asked if it was syncing. Usually a fo7nd not found message means tye app is trying to sync your tracker and can not comunicare with it.

Did you read the post on what syncs hetween the two accounts?

Is not working with BLAZE and this really sucks!
