I recently purchased an apple watch ultra and i was hoping that i could map activity starts to the action button, if possible this would be a super appreciated feature!

Hi Benjamin,
Thanks for posting about this. At the present time, Apple has not opened up the action button to external Apps, so it's not something we're able to do. We're glad you're interested in using this button with Strava, and that's feedback you could provide directly to Apple.
Thanks again!

Wot no news yet?
Surely this is an easy thing to implement? Either this. or better still, please give us some control for Strava with iOS Shortcuts, like starting, stopping and pausing workouts - at least then I can build my own Action button shortcut.

For such a popular app, I’m struggling to see why this has not been implemented yet, even the lone developed of WOD has enabled the action button for pausing a workout, surely Strava with the amount of £££££££ they collect every month can put some time aside to implement this?

Really looking forward to using that action button to start a run!

Any news on this integration Strava?

Hi Benjamin
I created a simple Shortcut and assigned it to the Action Button. It opens the Strava app on your Apple Watch Ultra, and in addition sets the focus mode to my “Cycling” one. It means I don’t need a complication to open Strava quickly on the watch.
This is just the simple shortcut, but you can expand it to do other things too.
Still looking forward to Strava hopefully working with the Action Button, and adding more shortcut integration/options like Start, Pause, Stop activity on Apple Watch, and actions like be able to Get Current Activity - to check if there’s one currently being recorded…

Hi, Jane. Looks like Apple has now opened up the Action Button to third-party developers. See: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/inputs/action-button and https://9to5mac.com/2022/10/05/use-apple-watch-ultra-action-button-third-party-apps/
Is Strava planning to add Action Button support for Apple Watch Ultra?
