Actions

What your agents can do in Motion

10 actions. Each one is a tool your agents can call and a step your workflows can run.

Read 6

Look things up. Nothing changes.

  • Get my user

    Reads the Motion user who owns the API key: id, name and email.

  • List workspaces

    Lists the workspaces the user belongs to, each with id, name, teamId, type (team or individual), its labels and its task statuses.

  • List projects

    Lists the projects in a workspace: each with id, name, description (HTML), status and customFieldValues.

  • List people

    Lists the members of a workspace or team: each with id, name and email.

  • List tasks

    Lists tasks, filtered by workspace, project, assignee, label, status names or a word in the task name.

  • Get a task

    Reads one task by ID with everything List tasks returns, including when Motion scheduled it (scheduledStart, scheduledEnd) and its custom field values.

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

    Adds a comment to a task, written in Markdown.

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.

Connection

How it connects

Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.

API key

Paste an API key from your Motion account.

What you enter

  • API key

Kept safe

  • Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
  • They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
  • Calls go only to the tool's own servers.

How we protect your data

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.
