Fitness: Connecting Google Health/Fitbit
Changes to the Fitbit API: Following Google Health’s acquisition of Fitbit, Google is replacing the Fitbit API that Funraisin currently uses. Google has indicated that the existing API will be deprecated on 30 September 2026.
We’ve explored what’s required to support the new API, but we can’t currently offer the Fitbit integration in Funraisin in a way we can reliably support.
As a result, the Fitbit integration will not be available in Funraisin.
What can fundraisers use instead?
Garmin, Strava and MapMyFitness remain supported in Funraisin. Fundraisers can continue connecting their fitness apps and tracking their activity, so you can continue offering fitness fundraising with these integrations.
What does this mean for existing Fitbit connections?
If you’re currently using the Fitbit integration, the existing API will be deprecated on 30 September 2026, which means your current connection will no longer work after this date.
To continue offering fitness tracking, Garmin, Strava and MapMyFitness remain available as alternatives.
What happens next?
We’ll continue to monitor changes to Google Health and revisit Fitbit if the new API requirements change and we’re able to offer a reliable integration in future.
