Write 4
Create, change or send.
Create a task
Creates a task in a workspace.
Update a task
Changes a task: its title, description, due date, duration, priority, status (by name, like Completed to finish it), project, assignee or labels.
Delete a taskDeletes data
Deletes a task by ID and takes it off the calendar.
Comment on a task

A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything. Actions that delete data ask first by default.

Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Paste an API key from your Motion account.

Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Motion data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can get my user, list workspaces or list projects in Motion, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Motion
Have the agent create a task or update a task in Motion as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent Motion and Slack: it can get my user in Motion and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
