Strava Overview#

The Strava API lets you tap into the robust data from Strava's fitness app, which is a playground for athletes worldwide to track their workouts. With Pipedream, you can automate actions based on activities uploaded to Strava, such as running, biking, or swimming. Imagine syncing workout data to spreadsheets for analysis, auto-posting achievements to social media, or integrating with calendar apps for better scheduling. Pipedream's serverless platform makes it a breeze to create workflows that can listen for Strava webhooks, process data, and trigger actions in countless other apps.

Trigger Code#

import strava from "../../strava.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "strava-activity-created",
  name: "New Activity Created Event",
  description: "Emit new event when a new activity is created",
  version: "0.0.2",
  type: "source",
  props: {
    strava,
    stravaApphook: {
      type: "$.interface.apphook",
      appProp: "strava",
      eventNames: [
        "activity.create",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run(event) {
    console.log(event);
    let details;
    try {
      details = await this.strava.getActivity({
        activityId: event.object_id,
      });
    } catch (err) {
      console.log(`Error fetching activity details: ${err}`);
    }
    let summary = "Activity created";
    if (details && details.name) {
      summary += `: ${details.name}`;
    }
    this.$emit(
      {
        event,
        details,
      },
      {
        summary,
        ts: event.event_time * 1000,
      },
    );
  },
};

Trigger Authentication#

Strava uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Strava account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Strava and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Strava API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

readactivity:writeactivity:readactivity:read_all

Amazon SES Overview#

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a powerful cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. With the SES API, you can reliably send emails at scale, manage sender reputations, view email sending statistics, and maintain a high deliverability rate. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate SES seamlessly into serverless workflows, automate email responses based on triggers from other apps, and analyze the effectiveness of your email campaigns by connecting to data analytics platforms.
