You will notice there are a choice of two Google Health icons in the Treekly app to chose from.
The Google Health icon with the blue & black heart symbol in the corner refers to Health Connect. This is Google's "bridge" allowing 3rd parties (such as Treekly) to request your steps data, subject to your permissions. It is our recommendation out of the two.
The other Google Health icon in Treekly (without a symbol) is configured to use Terra as the "bridge". Terra are one of Treekly’s approved partners. The Terra option is available as a back-up alternative.
To connect to Google Health via Health Connect:
Open the Google Health app.
From the Today tab, tap the devices icon (top left).
Under Apps and services, tap Partner apps.
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up Health Connect.
Choose what data Google Health can access/write - Steps and Distance required.
If prompted, open Health Connect and confirm Google Health is listed under App permissions.
On the Treekly app:
On the Home screen, tap the link 🔗 icon next to the steps counter.
This will open the Health Connect page. Tap Google Health (with the blue heart Health Connect symbol).
The Health Connect screen will open if Treekly lacks the required permissions. Allow Treekly to read the Steps and Distance data.
Select the “I'm ready for Treekly to connect“ checkbox.
Tap Connect.
