📖Reference: Integrations

Introduction

Integrations extend Motion beyond its core app by connecting with the tools you already use. From turning an email or Siri command into a task, to receiving notifications in Slack, to automating workflows with Zapier or APIs, integrations make Motion part of your broader productivity system. This reference explains how each integration works, what data is shared, and the limitations to keep in mind.

At a Glance

• Native integrations → Motion supports direct integrations with Email, Siri, and Slack for quick task creation and collaboration.

• Task from Email → Forward emails into Motion to create tasks automatically, with subject, body, and attachments mapped into task details.

• Task from Siri → Use Siri Shortcuts to add tasks to Motion hands-free with natural voice commands.

• Slack integration → Get task notifications, updates, and collaboration prompts directly inside Slack.

• API integrations → Developers can use Motion’s API to build custom workflows, connect internal tools, or automate large-scale processes.

• Zapier → Non-technical users can connect Motion with thousands of other apps, automating common workflows like creating tasks from form responses or CRM updates.

• Permissions & security → Each integration requires specific access (e.g., email forwarding, Siri Shortcuts, API tokens). Motion respects workspace-level permissions and provider rules.

• Limitations → Some integrations (e.g., Email to Task) support limited field mapping, and API/Zapier usage may be subject to rate limits.
