Tacx+Zwift+Strava+Garmin connect+Garmin watch+Garmin HRM?

Hi,

I'm new for indoor trainers (Tacx) and Zwift.
Today I'm using Garmin Forerunner 955 connected to Garmin HRM (and Garmin speed, Garmin cadence, 4iii power), then it goes to Garmin connect and from Garmin connect to Strava.

What's the most appropriate chain of connections for Tacx, considering I want to use:
1. Zwift for training
2. Garmin HRM for HRM
3. Garmin connect since this is where I track some aspects of fitness (training load etc.)
4. Strava since this is where I track distance and time aspects (more convenient than Garmin connect for me)

Ideally I want something like:
1. Garmin HRM connects to Tacx
2. Tacx connects to Zwift
3. Zwift connects Garmin connect
4. Garmin connect already connected to Strava or alternatively Zwift connects to Strava
So I just wondering what is the typical popular pattern between them all?

Thanks,

I connect zwift to strava. I forget if it backfeeds to garmin. Or maybe I don't have garmin and zwift connected.

When I'm using Zwift I connect all my sensors directly to Zwift (BT connection on iMac) and then link Zwift sessions to Strava/Garmin Connect etc. It's simple and automatic.
