When does Strava fire on activity edits?

Short answer: In TinyCommand, add the Strava Strava Activity Updated trigger to a workflow and publish. It listens through a Strava webhook and fires your workflow within seconds of the event, with no polling and no code. Add a filter if you only want some events to start a run.

FAQ

Questions about Strava Activity Updated.

How does the Strava Activity Updated trigger work in Strava?

Fires when the athlete edits an activity (rename, type change, privacy). The payload includes updates dict with changed fields for selective downstream reactions.

Is the Strava Activity Updated trigger real-time?

Yes. Strava Activity Updated uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Strava.

What data does Strava Activity Updated return?

The full event payload from Strava. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.

For most Strava accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Strava plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Strava's docs if the trigger fails to register.
