Seamless Technical Integration

The Strava Trigger functions as an event-driven automation starter that:

1. Authenticates with the Strava API using OAuth 2.0
2. Listens for new activities or activity updates
3. Triggers your custom workflow when conditions are met
4. Extracts relevant activity data (distance, time, elevation, heart rate, etc.)
5. Passes this data to subsequent nodes in your n8n workflow

This enables powerful scenarios like automatically sending activity summaries to a database, triggering congratulatory emails for achievements, updating training logs, or feeding data into analytics tools—all without manual intervention.
