Strata: Help

Connect Strava, share activities, and manage your Teams channel.

Get started

You'll need a Teams channel and a Strava account. Don't have one? Sign up for Strava.

Install Strata in your team or channel. Ask your Teams administrator to approve or upload the app if needed.
Send @Strata help in the channel to check that the bot responds.
Send @Strata connect, select Connect!, and sign in to Strava to authorize access outside Teams.
Save a new Strava activity after connecting. Its activity card will appear in the connected channel.

To stop sharing, send @Strata disconnect. Disconnecting does not remove activity cards already posted in Teams; delete earlier posts using Teams' message controls where your permissions allow it.

Commands and settings

Send commands in the Teams channel where Strata is installed. Choose a topic for examples.

@Strata stats: Show aggregate activity statistics for the past 30 days.
@Strata leaderboard last week: Choose a time range, such as elapsed time last month, since 2024, or between January and March. Longer ranges may require increasing retention below.
