[BUG] - Automation Export does not include GPX

[slapcat]

Describe the bug
Maybe I am just not understanding how the app works, but I cannot get a GPX file from an automated export, even though it works fine for a manual export. The "Export Format" drop-down only shows JSON or CSV. When I do a JSON export manually, it will send a JSON file and a GPX file. When I try to test the same with an automated export (REST API or dropbox), it will only send the JSON file/data.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Go to Automations.
2. Create new Automation configuration with any Automation Type and the Data Type set to Workouts. Leave all other settings as default.
3. Test the automation with the blue Manual Export button at the bottom.
4. Check files/data at the destination.

Expected behavior
Either automated export sends the same data as the manual export, or there is a dedicated Export Format for GPX if I want to receive that.

Screenshots
Can provide if needed.

iOS/watchOS (please complete the following information):

• Device: iPhone XR
• OS: iOS
• Version 17.5.1
• App Version: 8.1.14

Additional context
I'd like to get the GPX file so I can easily feed the data into another app (FitTrackee).

Looks like this was reported a year ago on Reddit and is confirmed as the expected behavior: https://www.reddit.com/r/healthautoexport/comments/13sf3gh/auto_export_running_routes/

Is there any update on when GPX files might be in included in automated exports?

Hey, thanks for reaching out. I made another note to prioritize this--the more it's requested the more top of mind it is.

I'm fixing some annoying, nuanced little kinks in the app at the moment that are taking some time. I'd say I can get this out some time this fall though. Sometimes things can go faster than anticipated.

I use Endurain which has an API you can use to upload GPX files. Using Auto Export Automations to send activities as GPX to an API would be a perfect solution.

+1 Checking if there's any update on this as it's been over a year. App website mentions GPX export option in multiple places but I wasn't aware that it wasn't available for automations.
