IFTTT actions removed - no option to import BP stats

[jreineke]

There was an action to import blood pressure stats on the Fitbit channel, and it is no longer there.  When is it going to reappear?

@jreineke  That feature was part of the log and is not available for those who registered after the end of September 2014.

Fitbit hasn't said if this was going to be reinstated.

Welcome to the forums.

@jreineke When did you start using the Fitbit channel on IFTTT? I only recently started using it and I never saw that option and I still have access to the BP log on Fitbit. My guess is they removed it from the API in preparation for removing the log.

I just activated the channel recently, but I saw the recipes for it on IFTTT and hoped to use it with the Withings BP Cuff I just recieved as a gift.  

I've been using the One for a year and half, and just recently got a Surge, so I've been a Fitbit user for awhile.  I just didn't have a reason to use the IFTTT channel until now - I'm wishing I would have activated it earlier so I would have access to those features.

Any word as to why they are removing the log?  Are they going to release a competing product?  I would rather use the Fitbit Dashboard than the MyFitnessPal Dashboard.

It looks we are in the odd position of having the BP log since we've been a member of FitBit since before September 2014, but not having the IFTTT action, because we didn't active the channel until recently.  Half full is better than empty.
