[SOLVED] Zwift activity sync (Only Direct Connections supported. Zwift rides in Garmin / Wahoo will not appear in Intervals)

[AlessioZanon]

Hi, maybe I’m doing something wrong but after connecting the account to Zwift (all enabled) still after finishing a Zwift ride it doesn’t appear on intervals icu.

Hi, my problem may be similar.
I do my Trainerroad workouts on a Zwift trainer. (hardware only, no Zwift software)
I logged in yesterday for the first time and all my workouts for past year have been imported to Intervals.icu.
However the workout of yesterday (27th) did not import.
My gym session of this morning (Garmin watch / Garmin Connect) has synced.
Is this a known issue ( I saw mention in forum of Zwift sync issue but assumed this was via the Zwift app, not used in my case, just the hardware) and if so can you direct me to a work-around.
with thanks
John

what are you using to log your workouts?
If it’s trainerroad, there is no direct connection from TR → Intervals.icu

likely you need a 3rd party intermediary (like Strava or tp2Interval project)

[John_Sexton]

Hi, TR connnects to Garmin so Garmin has everything, indoor and outdoor, Garmin is connected to intervals.icu.

to correct the first post above, only my outdoor rides have synced via Garmin to Intervals, my TR workouts have not come across.

@John_Sexton

only my outdoor rides have synced via Garmin to Intervals, my TR workouts have not come across.

Then this is normal and is expected.

Wahoo and zwift not syncing

Bad news from Wahoo. Looks like they are no longer passing on files from other services: This is by design, 3rd party workouts shared to Wahoo apps should not then share from Wahoo to other 3rd party apps. Completed workouts within Zwift will need to share directly from Zwift to intervals.icu Garmin also stopped passing on 3rd party files a few years ago.

[John_Sexton]

Thanks for that, is there any work around, way to link TR direct to Intervals, or via Strava?

[John_Sexton]

I see I can import historical data from Strava, presume this takes in TR rides also? is there any sync option with TR?

[MedTechCD]

If I remember correctly, TR also has support for Dropbox?

[John_Sexton]

@MedTech et al, Many thanks for the direction, got set up and it synced todays workout, looking to see how to import previous sessions as well, I must have set up dates incorrectly somewhere, on the right track though.

Dropbox would be preferred over Strava (anytime) esp if there is options.
Strava data is “Stripped” by some data and they also have some additional restrictions placed upon it. So there’s that as well

[John_Sexton]

Thanks for all the help folks, Dropbox backup from TR clearly says it only takes “new” workouts ie wont import historical. Can live with this.

You can request for a FULL HISTORY from Strava which will get you all the original FIT files (w/o stripping anything) and it will be free of the T&C from Strava API. Then you can load them up in Intervals and (for the most part) Dups will be handled.

Many thanks for this Nik.

Hello, i am new to intervals.icu with a subscription, i have the same issues with Garmin and Zwift, neither the Virtual Ride Zwift activity from Garmin Connect , nor the Zwift Activity is visible on my Intervals.icu Activity although it’s connected and synced to the apps. What is the solution to the problem? Thx

[R2Tom]

Only new Zwift rides will be synced (for direct connections).
Zwift Rides won’t be synced via Garmin (nor via Wahoo), as they don’t forward it over their API.

You can request your history from Strava or Garmin and upload it to intervals

Thank you R2Tom
