Strava Integration & Workflow Automation
Run Strava on autopilot. Keep the veto.
33 actions
Running automated Strava activity uploads and route exports without a second thought is how wrong data posts to your profile before you notice. Rills proposes each action; you decide before it goes out.
Interactive. No signup. 14 days free · approvals always free.
Most automation fires first, asks later. Rills shows you the change before it ships.
Every consequential other action from Strava arrives on your phone first. Approve in seconds. Decline without explaining yourself. Workflows wait, paused at zero cost, until you decide.
Queue 3
Upload 3 new activities to your Strava profile?
3 GPX files parsed from today's sync queue
Two entries flagged with missing elapsed time data
Same source used in last week's approved upload
Free to wait. Free to think.
Approvals and logic don't cost a credit. Pause a workflow for three hours or three weeks. The price is the same: zero. You only pay when something real happens: an AI call, an outbound action.
Approve from your phone in five seconds.
Swipe right when you're sure. Decline when you're not. Between meetings, mid-coffee, on the train. No dashboard to babysit, no inbox triage, no 3am stomach-drop wondering what shipped while you slept.
Routine cases graduate themselves.
Every approval feeds a confidence score for that exact workflow shape. The obvious cases (the ones you've green-lit fifty times) start running on their own. The judgment calls still come to you.
About Strava automation
Fitness data feels low-stakes until an activity uploads with the wrong details, a segment gets starred on behalf of the wrong athlete, or a bulk profile update fires against every connected account at once.
When Strava runs unsupervised
Strava automation without any human checkpoint means the operations that feel routine are the ones that go sideways quietly.
- Upload Activity fires before you've confirmed the source file is correct, posting a duplicate or malformed activity to your feed.
- Update Athlete writes new profile data across all fields in one shot, with no review of what changed before it goes live.
- Star segment adds segments in bulk without confirming the list matches your current training focus.
- Export Route as GPX sends files downstream to connected apps before you've checked the route data is what recipients expect.
- Create an Activity generates manual entries that go straight to your activity history, including any metadata errors in the source.
What Rills does inside Strava
Rills sits between your workflow logic and Strava's write operations. Before Upload Activity posts, before Update Athlete commits, before Create an Activity touches your history, Rills surfaces the proposal and waits.
The activity still uploads; you just see exactly what it contains first.
Why Strava has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap
Strava does not emit events that can start a workflow on their own, which means every Strava automation needs an external clock or upstream signal to know when to act. Rills handles this by polling or chaining from other tools.
- A scheduled check runs List athlete activities on a set cadence and queues any new entries for review before downstream actions fire.
- An upstream fitness tracker or calendar event triggers Get Activity to pull the latest record, then proposes the next write operation for your approval.
- Get segment effort runs on a schedule to surface performance changes, letting you approve whether to Star segment or log the effort before anything posts.
- A connected data source triggers Get zones to detect threshold changes, then queues an Update Athlete proposal rather than applying it automatically.
What Rills can do in Strava
6 of 33 actions across reads, writes, and updates.
- 01
Create an Activity

- 02
Get Activity
Retrieves comprehensive details about a specific workout or activity including distance, duration, elevation, speed, heart rate, and other performance metrics. Use this to access detailed activity data for analysis, reporting, or integration with other fitness tools.
- 03
Get athlete stats
Retrieve comprehensive activity statistics for an athlete across different time periods (recent 4 weeks, year-to-date, and all-time), including totals for rides, runs, and swims. Use this to track personal fitness progress and performance metrics over time.
- 04
Get authenticated athlete
Retrieves your Strava athlete profile information including name, location, and profile details. Use this to access your account data and verify your Strava connection.
- 05
List athlete activities
Retrieves a list of your workout activities with detailed metrics like distance, duration, elevation, and heart rate data, allowing you to programmatically access your fitness history for analysis and reporting.
- 06
Upload Activity
Create a new activity on Strava by uploading a workout file (FIT, TCX, or GPX format), which is processed automatically to capture your exercise data. This allows you to record workouts from devices or apps that aren't directly connected to Strava.
