Wearables in check-ins
A check-in question can fill in its answer from the athlete's watch, band, or ring, such as last night's sleep from Apple Health or a WHOOP recovery score. The athlete confirms the number instead of typing it. You see where each number came from, and whether the athlete changed it before they sent the form.
What it is
Prefill from is a setting on a number question in a form. When the athlete opens the check-in, the app fills in last night's number from their device. The athlete sees the number and can change it before they send.
Three sources can fill in an answer: WHOOP, Oura, and Apple Health. The athlete connects them in the mobile app. See Connect your watch or ring for their side.
Where to find it
Open a form in BUILD > Forms, click a number question, and find Prefill from in the panel on the right.
The parts
What a question can fill in
Prefill from offers four numbers:
- Sleep hours — in hours, from Apple Health. WHOOP and Oura don't send sleep hours.
- Recovery score, from WHOOP or Oura — WHOOP's daily recovery, or Oura's daily readiness score.
- HRV — in milliseconds, from WHOOP or Apple Health.
- Resting heart rate — in beats per minute, from WHOOP or Apple Health.
Choosing one sets the question's unit. A new organization's Daily check-in asks Hours of sleep with Prefill from set to sleep hours, so it fills in for athletes who connect Apple Health. See Build a check-in.
Which device fills it in
The athlete picks the device under Fill in my check-in from, in Preferences > Devices on the web. On Auto, the first device with last night's number fills it in, in this order: WHOOP, then Oura, then Apple Health. A device that doesn't send a number is skipped for that question:
- WHOOP sends recovery, HRV, and resting heart rate.
- Oura sends its daily readiness score.
- Apple Health sends sleep hours, HRV, and resting heart rate.
Gridlines reads new WHOOP and Oura data every hour. The athlete can tap Sync now on the WHOOP or Oura screen in the app to read it at once.
What you see on the answer
Each prefilled answer names its source under the number:
- From Apple Health — the athlete kept the number the device sent.
- 6.4 h from Apple Health, edited to 7 — the athlete changed it.
- 6.4 h from Apple Health, left blank — the athlete cleared it.
Rules and flags
A prefilled answer is an ordinary answer once it is sent. A rule can read it, such as sleep hours under 6, and a flag rule on the question can flag it. See flags and the athlete's usual.
Limits
- Only a number question can fill in from a device.
- When the device has nothing for last night, the athlete types the answer.
- One WHOOP or Oura account links to one athlete.
Common questions
Can I make the athlete keep the device's number?
No. The athlete can always change the number before they send. The answer then shows the device's number and the edit, so you can see it.
What if the athlete has no device connected?
The question opens empty and the athlete types the answer, the same as any number question. The answer then shows no source.
