1.1 Workflow description

Title

Workflow name
Export all Strava activity data to Google Sheets

What does this template help with?

Save the data of activities recorded and stored in Strava to a Google Sheets document.

How it works:

  • We have a Google Sheets spreadsheet where each row represents a Strava activity with the date, reference, distance, time, and elevation. Periodically, the workflow checks the latest activities in our Strava account to see if any are missing from the spreadsheet and adds them to the list.
  • All fields must be properly formatted according to how they are stored in the Google Sheets spreadsheet.

Set up instructions

  • Complete the Set up credentials step when you first open the workflow. You'll need a Google Sheets and Strava account.
  • In the 'activities' node, you must enter the name of the file and the sheet where you want to save the imported data.
  • In the 'Strava' node, you must select the corresponding credential.
  • You can adjust the format of dates, times, and distances according to your needs in the 'strava_last' node.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/2678/2678.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
