MarketingSocialProductivityAnalyticsHRScheduling

Strava is the social fitness platform where 120 million runners, cyclists, and athletes log every effort — from a lunch-break 5K to a full century ride — and connect with others chasing the same goals. Connect Strava to Actionist and your agents can create and update activities, pull segment leaderboards, monitor company-wide wellness challenges, and compile performance reports across your entire athlete roster — all triggered by real events, all without anyone opening the Strava app.

Wellness challenge leaderboard, auto-updated

When a support team member saves a run or ride on Strava, your agent reads the activity distance in real time, pulls the week's totals for every challenge participant, and posts a refreshed leaderboard to the team Slack channel — no admin manually tallying spreadsheets, no delays, just a live scoreboard that motivates the whole team the moment anyone crosses the finish line.

How to plug Strava into Actionist

Pick the connection method that suits your environment.

The fastest path to Strava data. Install a Strava MCP server and your agent can read activities, fetch segment leaderboards, and write new efforts through a permissioned OAuth handshake — no tokens to manage, no polling loops.

1
Open the Apps tab

Find Strava in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default.

2
Authorise in Strava

A browser window opens to Strava's OAuth consent screen. Select the scopes your agent needs — at minimum 'read' for activities and 'activity:write' if the agent will create or update efforts — then click Authorise.

3
Test the connection

Actionist runs a read-only call to verify the handshake. You're ready.

FAQs

Questions about Strava + Actionist

How do I connect Strava to Actionist?
The fastest route is MCP: click Connect on the Strava card in the Apps tab, approve the OAuth consent screen in Strava (grant 'activity:read_all' and 'activity:write' at minimum), and Actionist verifies the handshake with a read-only call. For script-based setups you can paste a long-lived OAuth access token generated from a registered app at developers.strava.com.
Which Strava objects can my agent read and write?
Your agent can read and write Activities (create, get, update, list), read Activity comments, kudos, laps, and heart-rate zones, read Athlete stats and Club memberships, and read Segment leaderboards and starred segments. Strava's API does not expose follower lists or private messaging, so those are out of scope.
What OAuth scopes does Actionist need?
For read-only use cases — leaderboards, wellness challenge monitoring — grant 'read' and 'activity:read_all'. If your agent creates or edits activities on behalf of athletes, also add 'activity:write'. Strava scopes are approved per athlete; each connected account must grant them individually during the OAuth flow.
Can Actionist create Strava activities on behalf of athletes?
Yes — unlike Zapier, which is trigger-only for Strava, Actionist can both read and write. Your agent can create a new activity, update an existing one's name, description, gear, or privacy, and log totals reports. Each write action uses the OAuth token of the connected athlete, so the activity appears as authored by them.
Do private activities trigger my agent's workflows?
Only activities that the connected athlete account can see will appear in webhook payloads. If an athlete sets an activity to 'Only You' (private), the webhook still fires for the connected account owner's own activities, but activities by other athletes that are private will not appear in club or follower feeds.
How do I avoid duplicate entries when logging activities automatically?
Use Strava's activity ID as your idempotency key. Before calling Create Activity, search for an existing entry with the same sport type and start date using Find Activity. If a match exists, call Update an activity instead. Store the Strava activity ID in your external system (Airtable, Google Sheets) and check it before every write.
Can the same agent handle multiple athletes in a company challenge?
Yes, but each athlete must individually authorise Actionist via OAuth — Strava does not support organisation-level service accounts. The typical pattern is to collect each employee's OAuth token during challenge enrolment, store the tokens per-user in your database, and have the agent iterate over enrolled athletes when fetching or writing data.
How does Strava's rate limit affect automated workflows?
Strava's API allows 200 requests per 15 minutes and 2,000 per day per access token. For company-wide challenges involving tens of employees, space out activity fetches with short delays and cache results rather than re-fetching on every trigger. If you hit 429 errors, back off exponentially and retry — Actionist's built-in error handling retries failed steps automatically.
