This automation scenario allows you to connect Fitbit and RescueTime
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated bots using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

Fitbit and RescueTime can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in Fitbit
This Trigger fires every time your Fitbit tracker syncs for the first time today and your previous day's stats are available.
Then this action happens in RescueTime
This Action will create a new highlight or action log entry. Highlight events show up as a list of accomplishments in your reports. Action events are similar, but they can be grouped and categorized as well.
This guide contains information on how to set up an automatic workflow that allows to Log Fitbit Summaries to RescueTime.
Part I
First, we need to connect Fitbit and RescueTime to IFTTT.
Create IFTTT account.
Create IFTTT account if you don't have one.
Connect Fitbit to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Fitbit account, using Fitbit credentials.
Connect RescueTime to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your RescueTime account, using RescueTime credentials.
Part II
Next, we need to create a workflow automation scenario using graphical no-code web interface of IFTTT.
Set up a Trigger action for Fitbit
Choose the following trigger: Daily activity summary (This Trigger fires every time your Fitbit tracker syncs for the first time today and your previous day's stats are available.).
Then set up an Action for RescueTime
Choose this action: Log a highlight event (This Action will create a new highlight or action log entry. Highlight events show up as a list of accomplishments in your reports. Action events are similar, but they can be grouped and categorized as well.).
Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
Customize data flow
Configure the data that is exchanged between Fitbit and RescueTime.
Test the workflow and turn it on for production use
Test your scenario and publish to production. Now you have an automatic workflow, that will Log Fitbit Summaries to RescueTime!
Triggers when a new daily summary is available
This Trigger fires when a new daily summary becomes available (usually at midnight in your local timezone).
This Trigger fires every time a RescueTime alert goes off.
Triggers when one of your RescueTime alerts goes off.
Triggers when a new FocusTime session is started
This Trigger fires every time a FocusTime session is started.
This Action will log a new weight measurement to Fitbit.
Logs an activity.
Adds a favorite activity.
Gets an activity summary by date.
Creates a log entry for water.
Creates a log entry for a sleep event.
Fitbit produces activity trackers, smart watches, wearable devices that measure number of steps walked, heart rate, quality of sleep, steps climbed, and other fitness & health metrics. The Fitbit mobile app is for people who use Fitbit devices to keep track of their activity goals, food plans, and other fitness related things.
IFTTT helps to create applications connections with a simple statement: if this then that. For example: "Tweet your Instagrams as native photos on Twitter". You define a task by a trigger and an action.
