I'm using IFTTT to sync my fitbit Aria weights to Apple Health. I do this since Sep 23, 2018. But the last succesful run was on Jun 13, 2021. Now I'm getting "There was a problem with the trigger." for the fitbit Trigger "New Weight Logged.".
I went into IFTTT and disconnected and reconnected my Fitbit service. I then created a new applet that did the exact same thing as the old one did. This morning it's working correctly. However I can't use the old applet anymore - IFTTT archived it (probably because it failed so much) and I can't get IFTTT to unarchive it.
Same problem, I think. I received alert emails from IFTTT saying I was also having issues. I've been using it without problem for years and haven't changed anything on my end.
Same problem. I have two IFTTT applets for Fitbit - one that syncs to Strava and one that syncs to Google Sheets. Both began failing after 8 PM Eastern on June 19, 2021. I get the "There was a problem with the trigger" error
That might be also the time since when it’s not working for me. I’m syncing my Aria weights to apple Health. I do this on a weekly basis, so I discovered the Error on Sunday 20 of June at 6 am (GMT+2).
Haven't stepped on my Aria for a while but realized today my last successful sync was on 17 June 2021. I'm seeing a message here from fitbit that says "We identified a temporary interruption to syncing and receiving notifications from the Fitbit app on your Android phone. Thanks for your patience while we work to fix this." I don't have an Android phone so it's difficult to know how much of the diagnostic is meaningless.
Also realized that there was an iOS update to the fitbit app on the 17th (3.43.1) so that's probably what broke things.

OK, followed your way to solve the Problem. Deleted the the connection to Fitbit in IFTTT and also deleted the connection in Fitbit. Recreated the Applet and did a check now. I'm no longer getting a failure notice. Have not tested with my Aria but things are looking good.
I Think it's getting archived because you deleted the Connection to Fitbit and recreated it. When the connection to Fitbit is deleted the applet is not able to work any longer.
I'm still having problems using two Aria-based applets, "Sync your Fitbit Aria weigh-ins to Health" and "Update Strava weight from Fitbit". Still getting "There was an error during check process" even though I've dis/reconnected and am using a freshly created applet.
