• Select the trigger application as Fitbit.
• Set the trigger event to schedule the workflow daily.

Once these settings are configured, click on the ‘Save’ button. This sets up the trigger to record daily activities from Fitbit at the specified time.

3. Fetching Fitbit Activity Summary

Now, let’s connect the Fitbit app to Pabbly Connect. Click on the action application and select Fitbit. Choose the action event as ‘Get Activity Summary by Date’. Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Fitbit account.

Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Fitbit data by clicking ‘Allow’ when prompted. After successfully connecting, you will need to fetch the current date. Add another action step using the Date Time Formatter feature of Pabbly Connect to retrieve today’s date.

• Set the format for the date as year-month-date.
• Send a test request to verify the date retrieval.

Next, you will need to subtract one day from the current date to get yesterday’s activity. Repeat the Date Time Formatter step to achieve this.

4. Integrating Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

With the Fitbit data ready, it’s time to send this information to Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Google Sheets as the application. Choose the action event as ‘Add New Row’ and click on ‘Connect’ to link your Google Sheets account.

Authorize the connection and select the specific Google Sheet where you want to store your Fitbit activity data. Map the data fields from the Fitbit summary to the corresponding columns in your Google Sheet.

Map fields like Active Minutes, Calories Out, and Goals from Fitbit to Google Sheets. Ensure all required fields are filled before sending a test request.

Once the mapping is done, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify if the data is correctly sent to your Google Sheet. Check your Google Sheet to confirm the data has been recorded successfully.
