Strava connects in one OAuth step. Brotein.pro imports your recent activities and listens for new ones via webhook when the server is configured.
Choose Strava direct when you don't use Garmin, log activities manually on Strava, or use Garmin + Strava without intervals.icu. If you have a Garmin watch, intervals.icu is usually the better primary path — see Garmin + ICU setup.
1. Connect Strava in Brotein.pro
Dashboard → Integrations → Strava → Connect with Strava. That official button starts OAuth at Strava (authorize URL). Brotein.pro then reads your athlete profile, activities, and streams (laps/splits) to coach you — it does not post to Strava. Initial sync pulls roughly the last 90 days of activities.
Consent: you can withdraw access anytime with Disconnect in the same panel (Strava-sourced cached workouts are removed; intervals.icu workouts stay), or delete your Brotein.pro account in Profile. Support: contact@brotein.pro. Your Strava account: strava.com/settings/profile.
2. Verify workouts in Brotein.pro
Open the Workouts tab. The Strava panel shows how many sessions are cached. On a Strava-sourced workout, use the **View on Strava** link to open the original activity. Click Refresh from Strava if history is still importing.
3. Automatic sync (webhook)
When the Brotein.pro server has Strava webhooks configured, new and updated activities arrive automatically — no manual refresh needed.
If something is missing after several minutes, use Refresh from Strava under Integrations (troubleshooting only).
When to prefer intervals.icu instead
If you have a Garmin watch, connect intervals.icu first — see Garmin + ICU setup. ICU brings wellness (sleep, HRV, training load) that Strava alone does not provide to Brotein.pro.
