Self-debugging
Some users may inquire about missing data, and you may not be sure what's going on.
Here are a few things to do in order to understand where the issue lies
User logged in with the wrong account
(This happens more often than you'd think)
Some users may have logged in with the wrong account. In order to verify the account that they're using matches with the Terra user ID that they've generated, you may follow the following procedure for the integrations below.
Getting the account's user ID on the provider's end
Terra always a user_id
for each connection. To get the user ID that the provider (e.g. Garmin, Fitbit etc) uses, you can use the athlete endpoint in order to retrieve that, which will be under the field provider_user_id
. Once you have obtained that, follow the guidelines below for each provider.
FreestyleLibre
For FreestyleLibre, a user's profile URL takes the form https://www.libreview.com/patient/{provider_user_id}/profile.
If we have connected your users to your own Libreview practice, you may simply substitute provider_user_id
with the one retrieved from the athlete endpoint and visit the link above. You'll then be able to see the user's account email, name, and data present on their account, by clicking on the "Glucose History" tab.
Often enough, users will have logged into an account with little data, really old data, or no data at all by mistake, without realizing it. You can then share a screenshot of that view with your user in order to help them log into the correct account instead.
Fitbit
Launch your Fitbit app (make sure you're using the latest Fitbit app version), click your Fitbit avatar in the top left corner, then click your Fitbit display name to view your profile. Then Click "Personal" and go to the next page, your Fitbit User ID is located at the bottom.
Check to make sure your user's Fitbit user ID matches the one retrieved by the athlete endpoint
MyFitnessPal
Using the provider_user_id
obtained above, navigate to https://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/{provider_user_id} .
Invalid username
Seeing a page like this:
indicates that the username entered by the end user is invalid. In the case above, the user accidentally entered their email instead of their username. Have them log in once more, following the "how-to" guide presented in the login screen
Disabled diary sharing
The page below:
Indicates the user failed to enable diary sharing/disabled it since they authenticated through Terra. In order to remediate this, have the user re-enable diary sharing with the same password used during initial authentication, or have them re-authenticate after having enabled diary sharing as per the "how-to" guide in the login screen
"My data isn't syncing"
In those cases the first step is always to ensure that the data is showing up in the partner app (e.g. Garmin Connect, Fitbit, etc..).
Next would be to check if the data is correctly synchronized with the partner cloud, by using their web portal.
Garmin
Ensure that the data is showing up in the Garmin connect web dashboard. If not, then pull down from the top in the Garmin connect mobile app, and hit the circle arrow until everything refreshes. If the data shows up in the web dashboard for Garmin Connect, but not through the API after 1-2 minutes, please contact support.
Apple Health
The most likely culprit would be background app refresh being turned on/background updates not working as expected. In order to verify this, first request a backfill (requires TerraiOS >= 1.6.12) through your Terra Dashboard, in Tools > Debug > Users for that specific user_id
.
If data does come through, this means that background delivery is not operating as expected. To Troubleshoot, follow the steps below.
Culprit 1: Battery saving mode is on
For this, have the user go to Settings > Battery, and make sure "Low Power Mode" is turned OFF
Culprit 2: Background app refresh is turned off for your app
For this, have the user visit Settings > General > Background App Refresh, and verify that your app is toggled on
Google Fit
Go inside the Google Fit app, and ensure that your data is up to date on the display. Thereafter, pull down from the top of the screen to synchronize with the cloud. Please note that even after that, there can be some delay for Google to make the data available through their API. You should be able to see that data after at most 30-60 minutes in most cases.
