[SOLVED] Automatically sync Garmin activities with intervals.icu

Is it possible to autosync activities from garmin connect?
I set garmin to do it but it doesn’t work. I have to upload them manually.
Thanks.

Garmin Connect will forward all activities done on a Garmin device.
Those not done on a Garmin device, like Zwift for example, will not be forwarded to Intervals. This is a decision made by Garmin and there is nothing Intervals can do about it.
There are different solutions to automatically sync other activities through Dropbox. Search on the forum for your specific situation.

Yes, I’m referring to activities done on a Garmin 745 Forerunner, so it should work. But It doesn’t.

Older activities and/or new?
Garmin historical activities can take a while.
New ones should come right away.

Either older and newer don’t come.

Check settings in Intervals and Garmin Connect (Garmin Connect |)

Eventually, try to disconnect in Intervals and reconnect to make sure your login is correct.

It should work both ways, you get activities from garmin to intervals and you get planned workouts from intervals to you watch.

Hi, I’m having the same problem.

Configured like the image, went for a ride with a Fenix 3 watch and after saving the activity it didn’t sync to Intervals (it’s there now but I uploaded manually).

I don’t see any errors in the logs or anything for you for Garmin. If you next ride doesn’t download automatically please post on this thread. Also make sure you have connected the correct Garmin account.

Hi David. Just saved an activity and this time it synced to Intervals, go figure. The other time I did the authorization in the same day as (but surely before) the activity, can’t think of other difference. After the failed sync I re-did the authorization. The account was the same, it’s the only account I have on Garmin. Well, I’m glad it’s working now. Thanks for your attention. Best regards.

hi @david , I’m having the same issue and found this thread. My settings on both sides are fine and the activity has been recorded with a garmin forerunner 965. any chance you can look into this? I’d really appreciate it! Best, Max

PS: Background that might be relevant: I first connected strava, then added custom fields which are not available through strava (aerobic training effect etc). then I connected garmin and found that the values were updated. I then added even more custom fields but found that they weren’t updated. I tried resyncing and stuff, but couldn’t get it to work.
so I deleted the activities and re-connected everything, that didn’t help either. so I deleted my account and created a new one, this time adding the fields first, but the garmin activities were never loaded. so I synced all of them once manually and hoped, new ones would be synced at least, but they are not, as said.

Garmin “remembers” requests for data and rejects duplicates, even if you disconnect and reconnect etc… So you will need to download fit files for those missing activities and upload those to Intervals.icu. Future activities should load fine.

thanks for the quick reply. today’s activity, however, which I performed after all the mess above, didn’t load either. I’ll update here after tomorrow’s run, in case the issue remains. maybe it’s gonna resolve the way the other user’s issue did, too.

I am not seeing any activities come through for you from Garmin (no webhooks). Planned workouts are uploading fine. Can you see the planned workouts on your Garmin?

yes, syncing trainings to garmin works perfectly


No sync today, either :worried: anything I can do?

Did you check the activities box when you connected? Try disconnecting and re-connecting to make sure.

I can’t think of anything else to try :frowning:

disconnecting and re-connecting fixed it this time (not the other times though, not really sure whether I did anything different there, though…) :champagne: thanks!:heart:

How long should it take until the old activities are showing up? Right now I see last 90 days only. Is there a limit for how historic the sync will be or will it eventually sync all existing activities from Connect?

Use ‘Import all Garmin data’ on the settings page to get your full history.
Garmin will send you a link within a couple of days, where your complete history can be found. Paste that link in the dialog box on Intervals and everything will be imported.
