Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Strava integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Strava calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Strava data, across all 33 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Strava access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Strava, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Strava is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Strava.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Strava action to support review and sign off.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven strictly respects the privacy settings defined within the Strava account. If an activity is set to Only You or Followers, the agent can only see it if the authenticated user has provided the necessary OAuth scopes and the activity visibility allows it. We never attempt to bypass Strava privacy controls or access private profiles without explicit authorization. Your data is handled according to the permissions you grant during the OAuth flow, and you can restrict what the agent sees by changing your visibility settings directly in the Strava app at any time.
Yes. By using the Create activity action, Ceven can take data from another integrated source, such as a health app or a CSV file, and push it into Strava. The agent maps the distance, duration, and activity type to the Strava schema to ensure the upload is accurate. This is particularly useful for athletes who use specialized hardware that does not have a direct Strava sync. The workflow can be set to run on a schedule or trigger the moment a new file is detected in a folder.
Strava imposes strict rate limits on their API to ensure platform stability. Specifically, they limit the number of requests per second, hour, and day. If a workflow attempts to pull thousands of activities at once, the agent may encounter a 429 Too Many Requests error. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, meaning the agent will wait and retry the request automatically. For very large data migrations, we recommend scheduling your workflows during off peak hours to avoid hitting these limits and ensuring a smooth data flow.
Ceven interacts with the Strava API, which provides access to data regardless of whether you have a free or paid subscription. However, some specific data points or advanced analytics available in the Strava app might not be exposed via the API due to Strava's own tier gating. If a piece of data is not available in the API response, the agent cannot access it. We recommend checking the Strava API documentation for the most current list of available fields for your specific account type to ensure your workflows are designed around available data.
When you connect Strava, you are redirected to the Strava authorization page. Here, you see exactly which scopes Ceven is requesting, such as activity read or profile read. Once you click authorize, Strava sends a secure token to Ceven. We store this token encrypted and use it to make requests on your behalf. We never see or store your Strava password. You can revoke this access instantly through your Strava account settings under the My Apps section, which kills the token and stops all agent access immediately.
No. The Strava API is designed for post activity data analysis rather than real time streaming. The agent can only access heart rate data after an activity has been uploaded and processed by Strava. If you need real time heart rate monitoring, you would need to connect a tool that provides a live data stream. Ceven can, however, pull that heart rate data the moment the activity sync completes and then trigger a notification if your average heart rate exceeded a certain threshold during the workout.
Ceven can read club activities and pull member lists if you have the appropriate administrative permissions. You can build workflows that monitor club activity to identify the most active members or send weekly summaries of club achievements to a different platform. However, certain administrative actions, like inviting new members or changing club settings, may be restricted by the Strava API. The agent is best used for extracting club data and using it to drive external engagement or reporting workflows.
Currently, the Strava API does not provide a public endpoint to programmatically give kudos to other athletes. This is a deliberate design choice by Strava to prevent spam and maintain the social integrity of the platform. Because of this limitation, Ceven cannot automatically like or kudos an activity. The agent can, however, monitor for new activities and notify you via Slack or email so that you can jump into the app and give the kudos manually, ensuring the social interaction remains human.
