FitnessSyncer E-mail Tasks

FitnessSyncer can e-mail your health and fitness data to you every day, week or month, and there are two separate tasks that do it in different ways. Both are free, and neither counts toward the 5 sources and tasks on the free plan.

• E-mail Update: a summary of your data sources written into the e-mail itself, along with how you are doing against your goals. You read it in your inbox without opening anything, and it can carry the original file for each of your activities as an attachment.
• Reports by e-mail as PDF files: the reports from your Dashboard, each one as its own PDF file attached to the e-mail. These are the ones to keep as a record or to bring to an appointment.

You can use both, and you can have more than one of either, such as a daily update for yourself and a monthly set of PDF reports for your doctor.

E-mail Update

This task e-mails you a summary of your data sources and includes updates on your goals. To configure one of these tasks:

• From your Account, add a new destination task
• Type: Set the Type to E-mail Update
• Name: Describe your task. If left blank, FitnessSyncer will create a default.
• Frequency: Indicate how frequent you wish to receive this e-mail
• Remove Duplicates: Where the same workout reached you from two sources, such as a ride that arrived from both your watch and another service, count it once in the summary.
• Attachment: Include the files for your activities as attachments to your e-mail, as described in Activity Files as Attachments below. Note: This is a Pro feature.
• Send to you and to: Choose another e-mail address to send the updates to. Note: This is a Pro feature.
• Message for Alternate Email: Provide a little context for this e-mail for the other receivers of this e-mail. Note: This is a Pro feature.
• Sync Time: Specifies the time you wish to synchronize your data. This can be a specific time or hourly if you are a Pro user.
• Enabled: A new task starts enabled as soon as you save it. On an existing task, this checkbox is how you turn it off and on again, and a task with the box cleared never runs.
• Filters (in Advanced Options): You can filter the data read from this source in many ways; see the Filters section for more information. Note: This is not available within our Apps.
• Report: On an existing task, this link opens the e-mail summary report. The report is regenerated while you wait, so you don’t have to wait for the first e-mail to arrive to see what it will look like. A task that has never run previews the period that a run right now would cover.

On an existing task, the toolbar offers these options:

• : Reset the Task
• : This icon shows you the e-mail in your web browser: the last one that was sent, or, if the task has not run yet, a preview of the one it will send. This takes a moment as it is regenerated while you wait. If you are using one of the FitnessSyncer Apps, the report is available as the Email Destination Summary Report.
• : Delete the task and all of its data

Activity Files as Attachments

With FitnessSyncer Pro, your e-mail update can carry the original file for each activity it covers, so every workout lands in your inbox as a file you can keep, forward or open in another app.

• Formats: Choose FIT, TCX, GPX, KML, KMZ, PWX or CSV. FIT and TCX keep the most detail, such as heart rate, cadence and power; GPX, KML and KMZ are mostly the route, which suits mapping tools.
• Keep an archive: A daily e-mail with attachments is a simple backup of every activity, filed in your own mailbox.
• Share with a coach: Combined with Send to you and to, your coach receives each session’s file without you having to export anything.
• Use another app: Open the attachment in any tool that reads these formats.

We recommend attachments with a daily frequency. A weekly or monthly e-mail can carry many large files, and depending on your data it may go over the size your e-mail provider accepts.

Reports by E-mail as PDF Files

This task e-mails you your reports as PDF files, one file for each report you choose, which is handy to keep a record or to bring to an appointment. Unlike the E-mail Update, it sends the reports you already use on your Dashboard rather than a summary of your sources, so there is nothing to filter and nothing to read in the e-mail itself.

The quickest way is from the report itself: open it on your Dashboard and select Get this report by e-mail in the toolbar. You can add the report to an e-mail you already get or start a new one, and the same button changes or stops it later. You can also configure one from your account:

• From your Account or one of our apps, add a new destination task
• Type: Set the Type to Reports by e-mail as PDF files
• Reports to send: Choose any number of reports. Everyone can choose the built-in reports, such as Blood Pressure, Diabetes and Sleep; Pro users can also choose their own dashboards.
• Frequency: Daily, weekly or monthly. Weekly e-mails go out on the first day of your week, Sunday or Monday as set in your preferences, and monthly e-mails on the first day of the month.
• Send to you and to: Choose another e-mail address to send the reports to, such as your doctor or coach. You are copied on it. Note: This is a Pro feature.
• Message for Alternate Email: Add a note for the other receivers of this e-mail. Note: This is a Pro feature.

On an existing task, the toolbar offers Reset the Task and to delete it.

The reports show your readings only, without interpretation, and are not intended for medical use.
