How to connect Google Chat and Strava
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Chat and Strava
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Google Chat, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Chat or Strava will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Chat or Strava, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Google Chat Node
Select the Google Chat node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Chat, Strava, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Google Chat and Strava integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Chat and Strava (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Chat and Strava
Strava + Google Sheets + Google Chat: When a new activity is logged on Strava, its details are added to a Google Sheet. A summary of the activity is then posted to a designated Google Chat space.
Strava + Todoist + Google Chat: When a cycling activity is logged on Strava, a new task is created in Todoist to track post-activity actions (e.g., cleaning the bike, reviewing performance). The confirmation of task creation is then shared on Google Chat.
