I sync to Strava and then it syncs to TP - problem solved!
Strava won’t sync to TrainingPeaks - you must be syncing some other way (like Garmin Connect) without realising it!

I always do zwift in the backround when doing xert workouts from my phone i , just take off my trainer from zwift and let xert control it and have my power meter setup as powersource on zwift. And that workout file goes to garmin connect and from there to trainingpeaks , i know a lot of steps but it works and from there i get two files to xert so i always take out the zwift one and keep the xert file there , and both workouts bounce to strava to but i always take one out there to.

Many of us don’t use Garmin prefer Wahoo , i’ve decided even though still a pain in the arse to run Zwift and turn off the controlable trainer , this lets XERT control the workout .
This lack of compatibilty amoungst the different companies means we have to have multiple systems and spend more money , very annoying .

That simply doesn’t work i’ve tried it , even though TP says it uploads TCX files it doesn’t if you try the XERT version , no matter which way you turn you’re blocked .
This is why there are so many - they make money. Although I expect that Xert doesn’t make a fraction of the money TP or Zwift does
And, if you are on/use TP for your plan, what’s your reason for using Xert?
I have Garmin connect on my phone set up to sync with both Strava and Training Peaks. When my ride/workout is done on my Garmin Edge 830, it syncs with these two sites as well as Xert. Hope this helps.
If you have a Garmin and use CIQ Xert Player, yes, as most of us know.
Even so, let alone if you have no Garmin, it’s a pain in the butt.
Adaptive Training Advisor , the IOS workout player , the selection of workouts put into Focus types plus i like the whole concept , if they had a TSB and a time in Zones i’d quite TP .
Also getting TP workouts onto Zwift is quick and automatic

Quit TP and use intervals.icu for your complimentary needs.

TrainingPeaks still has by far the best calendar/planner. If Xert’s improved a little bit I’d probably ditch TP.

So, you’re using a free account or are you really paying $150 (?) a year for the calendar?
I’m not sure what’s wrong with Xert’s calendar, as basically, everything is based on XATA. And that creates its advice based on what you feed it.
I’m aware that some people want to be able to see “everything” at a glance, for instance the hours or XSS for the next 3 months, but when did that ever work out exactly as planned?
And if it did, how’s Xert any less “predictable”. The beauty of Xert is, that you don’t have to think too much in advance…

Yeah I know but I like thinking in advance, I find that part of the fun of training. 
I definitely like to have the next 1-2 weeks planned out in detail. I also like having a high level plan for the season that factors in time spent working on weaknesses, plus multiple races that have slightly different priorities.

I looked at INTERVALS.ICU very comprehensive but looks like a jumbled mess and i’ll concede this is probably due to lack of familiarisation , if they had a direct upload/download from/to calander to Zwift i’d consider it , i know they’re trying to do that .
I’m not on Zwift, but export (for use on) has been live for a while…
yes it’ll load onto my Mac laptop but not my apple 4K TV or any other mobile device !! syncing to my mobile devices used to work great about a year ago but not now , Zwift told me i had to start the workout on my Laptop and that should then initiate syncing to my mobile devices ( total pain in the arse and it doesn’t work at least not for me ) TP goes to every device instantiously because it has a direct link.
But TP is a closed system. They have no interest in any 3rd party service trying to get access to their API.
They will push, but not pull workouts.
Zwift is another pain in the butt that doesn’t play nice with non-preferred services.
But, there’s a case to be made why these guys don’t want to, so all you can do is apply workarounds, while guys like David keep trying.

Resurrecting this thread.
Even the JOIN Cycling app syncs workouts directly from their app to TrainingPeaks.
Come on Xert your missing an opportunity here.
Specifically their API documentation is here with this being the API endpoint that others are most likely using, and the FAQ has the links for contacting them for API access.
The API access page does state:
We are not accepting any new API partners at this time, while we do some maintenance on our API systems. If you still wish to apply, please complete the following form, and we will follow up when we begin adding new partners again in the future.
However who knows, maybe submitting a request for consideration and showing the desire is enough to make it happen.
