Use this guide when you want a completed Kinni session to appear in Strava.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- Connect your Strava account in Kinni.
- Confirm the session completed normally in Kinni.
- Give uploads a short moment before assuming they failed.
Upload paths
Section titled “Upload paths”Kinni supports two Strava upload paths:
- Auto-upload after session complete when Strava is connected and auto-upload is enabled.
- Manual upload from Session Detail using Upload to Strava.
Manual upload steps
Section titled “Manual upload steps”- Open the completed session in Kinni.
- Open the session actions on the Session Detail screen.
- Choose Upload to Strava.
- Confirm the upload when the modal opens.
- Wait for the success or error message.
What Kinni sends
Section titled “What Kinni sends”Kinni generates a FIT file for the session and uploads it to Strava as a virtual run/trainer activity. The session must have the data Kinni needs to build that upload file.
If upload fails
Section titled “If upload fails”- Check that Strava is still connected.
- Reconnect Strava if Kinni says authorization has expired.
- Confirm the session has not already been uploaded; uploaded sessions cannot currently be re-uploaded from the same upload action.
- Open Strava and refresh before retrying, because new uploads can take a short moment to appear.
