How to sync Fitbit with Run Keeper?

[CDamron]

How do I get my run from Run Keeper to load onto my fitbit app?

I'm going to move this from the Flex forum over to the Third Party Integrations forum in order to get better exposure to your question for someone who might know. 🙂

Thank you.

Hi @CDamron, At this time, Fitbit offers a one-way integration with Runkeeper meaning your Fitbit data will sync to Runkeeper but not vice versa. To get Runkeeper stats to load on your Fitbit app, you will need to log them manually via the Log section of your Fitbit account. 

If you're interested in seeing more from this integration, you can add your suggestion as an App Feature request in our ideas board here. Considering their recent posts on the same subject, I'd bet this idea would get votes from @GoCarrieGo and @bettysette. Happy running!

CDamron - As a work-around, RunKeeper syncs to MyFitnessPal account which then syncs to my FitBit account. It saves me from doing manual entry and also avoids double-counting steps. I do the same thing with Runtastic Abs for calorie counting purposes.

How did you set them up to sync? I'm still having to manually enter mine.

I gave MFP permission to sync with my RunKeeper account and Fitbit permission to sync with my MFP account.

I did that too, but they still aren't syncing. After a workout do you have to do something special? Or does yours just automatically sync?
