Syncing

When you connect your Fitbit with Big Team Challenge, our system automatically syncs in the background each time Fitbit notifies us of new steps. Once Big Team Challenge has pulled in distance for a particular day, we update your daily total each time we receive new steps from Fitbit.

For more information on how to sync your Fitbit device please see https://help.fitbit.com/?c=Topics%3ASyncing

If you have any issues with Fitbit sync, please first check the fitbit.com website (when logged in) under Log > Activities, then Week > Distance. The totals in kilometers should match up with what has been automatically logged on your account.

To stop syncing with Fitbit, just press the "Disconnect" button instead in step 4 above.
