Import activies via csv

Hello, I would like to add many activities to Garmin Connect afterwards.
These include simple activities without GPS data. E.g. run, xx km, xx time, xx HR, xx calories. 
According to Garmin support, you can only import fitbit data via csv. Is there any possibility?

You can import individual activities in the Fitbit CSV file format, and you can import activities in FIT, GPX, and TCX format. If you are skilled in coding, then using any of the file formats may be viable.

I tried it with the csv-format (I have an export from fitbit) and it works for my weight, but not for activies. What is the correct syntax for a running or fitness-activity?

I do not know the syntax of any fitbit activity, but if you are not exporting the files from Fitbit, then rather use the TCX file format. There you can find out the syntax easily by exporting one of your Garmin activities in that format. If you cannot or do not need to import the GPS data, export an indoor activity in the TCX format, for a matching reference.

Yes, but than I have to create a separate tcx-file for each activity I want to import.
This is just as time-consuming as creating each activity manually. Or do I still have a misconception?

As already written, you can only import individual activities. You cannot import lists of activities anyway. Not even in the Fitbit CSV format.

That's too bad. Can one assume that this will be possible in the future?

I doubt, but you can try Submitting the Idea to Garmin.
