- Finally, select Authorize to complete the linking process between your Garmin Connect and Strava accounts.
After completing these steps, your accounts are linked. Activities recorded on your Garmin device will first sync to Garmin Connect, and then automatically transfer to your Strava account without any further action required from your end.
