Is Garmin Connect currently unable to push Zwift uploads to intervals.icu?
Yes unfortunately they stopped sending activities from non-Garmin sources to Intervals.icu (and others as far as I know) in April this year. I have asked if this could be reversed for Intervals.icu and didn’t get a reply.
This is becoming more and more like the new Operation methods. Companies which has their own hardware etc will only allow their software ecosystem to (auto anything) with their own devices.
Stryd does the same thing, if you don’t run with a stryd, you can’t upload (even manual uploads) data to their software ecosystem.
This is where software/sites like rungap / connectstats / tapiriik.sync comes in. But even then, they are bound by license agreements / API restrictions etc.
BTW, @david how difficult was it to get API Access to Garmin? Are you allowed to Push (completed) workouts there?
Garmin API access was easy. Just apply then they setup a call and you are off. I haven’t tried pushing completed activities only downloading activities and uploading workouts.
Looks like Wahoo are doing what you describe as well. They recently removed the ability to load workouts onto the device via USB and now have launched SYSTM ($14.99/month training planning etc. app).
Thanks. Perhaps its much easier now(?) as opposed to prev IIRC, they asked for a USD5000 setup fee or something.
As for Wahoo’s SYSTM USD14.99 fee, thats in line w/ what Zwift / TR is charging so among the “big boys” that’s the top tier pricing and for developers like me and you, we’re basically charging(or not charging) peanuts.
(TBH, I’m just trying to pay off the USD99/yr Apple App Store listing fee)

iirc, Garmin is extremely picky about who is allowed to push workouts to Garmin, so basically no one can. It’s not part of their standard API and it’s reserved to only a few companies such as Tacx (since they own it), The Sufferfest (I assume SYSTM will now), TrainerRoad, and Zwift. You can get on their list, but it’s quite unlikely unless the app is one of the most used in training
As (one of) the 3rd party app developers, i think most of us are just trying to lower the bar for access by the masses.
Is Garmin connect sync down for anyone else? My ride hasn’t syncd across.

Same here
This is likely due to an issue with Intervals.icu last night. Your activities should load soon.

Hi David,
I am just wondering why I can’t see my indoor ride (wahoo systm) in intervals.icu. Once done, the indoor ride are sent to Garmin Connect and Strava. But looks like I can’t have it directly to intervals.icu (it used to work with Strava).
Cheers,

Yes unfortunately Garmin Connect stopped sending activities from non-Garmin devices do apps like Intervals.icu in April 2021. I don’t know if it is possible to get Wahoo to upload to Dropbox?
Fitness syncer will move activities from Garmin to intervals. Not perfect but works pretty well. Free if you only have a few sources/destinations. You can filter in a variety of ways to get just the ones that don’t get synced natively.
Hi,
ok. no worries, will use strava and Garmin Connect for now.

Hi David. I am new to intervals. I’m using it on Chrome. I read thru a lot of this thread and kept seeing discussion of connecting Garmin Connect so that my bike rides sync with intervals automatically. I never saw a chance to do that while setting up my account. Now the only way I can add a ride is to go to settings and use the Garmin connect download functionality which is very clunky. Seems like it should be simpler. Am I misunderstanding what is possible with auto sync? I never connected Strava because I prefer Garmin connect.
I used that Garmin connect but that opens a dialog box that has me request a download from Garmin connect. After Garmin pulls the data it sends me an email and I have to copy the link and paste it into the dialog box. Nothing about auto sync ever presents itself.
Which option are you clicking on specifically?
Note that the last link - “import all garmin data” this is for downloading of PAST workouts like maybe 1year(??).
the other 3 option boxes are for linking intervals to garmin. SImilar to how you link Strava to intervals or Garmin to Strava etc.

Ok thanks. I’m trying to get it to work. I figured out how to do what you’re talking about. It pops up a privacy window asking if I agree and then just sits there and spins. Sigh.
If it just spins that is likely a Garmin problem. You can try reload that page.
