Tracker Connections

Fitbit/Garmin/Google Fit Tracker Connection - Internal Server Error

Web tracker accounts can only be connected to one 10,000 Steps account at a time.

If you are seeing internal server errors when connecting your Fitbit, Garmin, or Google Fit account, you may have an existing 10,000 Steps account under a different email address. Please reset your password for your existing account, or use Contact Us to deactivate your existing account. Account deactivations can take up to 7 days.

Garmin Web Connection Dropouts

We are monitoring reports from some members connecting their Garmin web accounts to their 10,000 Steps web account through Tracker Connections (Other trackers on the app).

Data is sent in batches from Garmin, and can take up to 18hrs to arrive in your 10,000 Steps account. The key issue reported is intermittent missing data. For example, correct data sent from Garmin for Monday and Wednesday, but 0 steps for Tuesday.

Current Workarounds

A more real-time sync is available through Garmin Connect for Apple Health users, and can be connected via our iOS mobile app. Please remove your web connection from Tracker Connections before trying our Apple Health connection.

We recommend checking in with your Step Log once a week and filling any missed data. Once saved, your steps will remain saved unless a higher step entry is sent through from Garmin.

Email and Account Verification

Verification and Password Reset Email Delays

Sometimes members using organisational email addresses (e.g. yourname@workplace.com) and Bigpond email addresses (e.g. yourname@bigpond.com.au) experience a delay in receiving emails from 10,000 Steps.

If you cannot find an automatic email from 10,000 Steps:

• Double check the email address used. Ensure the address, including your name, any full stops, mail server and prefixes have been entered correctly.
• Please wait for 30-60 minutes.
• Check your Spam or Junk folders.
• Search all of your mail folders for emails from "admin@10000steps.org.au".
• Check if you have any mail rules or preferences that are filtering automatic emails into another mailbox or blocking them completely.
• Whitelist or Allow emails from admin@10000steps.org.au to ensure you will receive new emails.
• If you are using an organisation or work email, contact your IT department to whitelist and release your 10,000 Steps emails.
