Frequently Asked Questions about Strava + Instagram integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Strava and Instagram

Can I automatically post my Strava activities on Instagram?

Yes, you can set up an automation to post your Strava activities to Instagram. When a new activity is logged in Strava, it can trigger a post on Instagram with details of that activity.

What types of activities from Strava can be shared on Instagram?

You can share any type of activity recorded in Strava such as runs, bike rides, swims, hikes, and more by setting up triggers for those specific activities.

Do I need special permissions from my Strava account to integrate with Instagram?

You'll need to ensure your Strava account has the necessary access permissions enabled to allow for data sharing with third-party applications like Instagram.

Is it possible to include my route map from Strava in my Instagram post?

While the integration primarily shares the activity details like distance and duration, including route maps depends on the specific capabilities of the automation setup. Make sure your chosen integration tool can handle images or requires custom logic.

Can I customize what information from my Strava activity appears on Instagram?

Yes, you have control over what specific data points are posted on Instagram. You can choose elements like activity name, details about distance, pace, and even personal notes.

How often does the integration between Strava and Instagram update or post?

The frequency depends on how often you log new activities in Strava since each new activity acts as a trigger for posting to Instagram. This could be real-time or based on a schedule you define during setup.

Are there any restrictions when integrating images from Strava into an Instagram post?

Both platforms have content guidelines and size restrictions that should be adhered to. During setup, ensure your image dimensions fit within Instagram's supported formats.
