About Motion

Motion is an AI-powered productivity platform that combines intelligent calendar management, automatic task scheduling, and project management into a unified workspace. Used by over 1 million professionals, Motion's AI engine analyzes many parameters to automatically schedule and reschedule tasks based on priorities, deadlines, and calendar availability, helping users protect deep work time, prevent overbooking, and integrate with major calendar systems to optimize daily productivity.

The Motion API enables developers to:

• Authenticate using API keys generated from Motion settings with secure access controls for programmatic interaction.

• Query tasks, projects, user schedules, work hours, and calendar events with filtering, pagination, and status-based retrieval.

• Create or update tasks with priority levels, deadlines, estimated durations, recurring patterns, and custom time windows for AI scheduling optimization.

• Manage complex project workflows with support for AI-powered project creation, task dependencies, team assignments, and template automation.

• Integrate with external systems through native connections and API endpoints for calendar synchronization, email-to-task conversion, and cross-platform task management.

Why Integrate Motion with Emergent

Connecting Motion directly often requires setting up API key management, mapping task and project schemas with AI scheduling parameters, handling calendar synchronization conflicts, coordinating across multiple productivity tools, building dynamic scheduling interfaces, and maintaining real-time updates for task priorities, which can become a substantial engineering project.

Emergent removes that complexity:

• Build by prompt, describe the Motion app you want and the workflows you need, and Emergent automatically scaffolds the UI, orchestration, data models, and integrations.

• Schema-aware mapping, Emergent understands Motion's data structure including tasks, projects, priorities, deadlines, AI scheduling parameters, calendar events, and team assignments, helping you map data accurately across project management, communication, and calendar tools.

• Secure by design, features include encrypted key vaults for API keys, environment isolation, role-based access, and audit-friendly logs, making it suitable for teams with strict data handling and productivity workflow requirements.

• Real-time workflows, webhooks, retries, backoff, caching, batching, and error handling are built in for reliability and consistency across task scheduling and project updates.

• Orchestrate multiple tools, combine Motion with Slack, Trello, Asana, Google Calendar, and Linear to build unified productivity hubs, automated project trackers, intelligent task routers, and cross-platform schedule optimizers.

How Emergent Works with Motion in Real Time?

STEP 1: Describe your app

Example: "Build a productivity hub that syncs Motion tasks with Trello boards, posts Slack notifications when high-priority deadlines approach, coordinates Asana project updates with Motion schedules, syncs all events with Google Calendar, and creates Linear issues from Motion tasks for development teams."

STEP 2: Declare integrations

Say "Motion + Trello + Slack + Asana + Google Calendar + Linear." Emergent sets up providers, authentication, and recommended connection methods including API key authentication.

STEP 3: Secure credentials

Provide your Motion API key generated from the Settings tab in your Motion app. Keys are stored in an encrypted vault with environment isolation for development, staging, and production.

STEP 4: Select data sources and map properties

Emergent automatically introspects your Motion workspace, including tasks, projects, priorities, deadlines, estimated durations, AI scheduling parameters, calendar events, and team member assignments.

It then guides you to map properties accurately such as Motion tasks to external task boards, priority levels to urgency flags, AI-scheduled time slots to calendar events, and project milestones to team notifications.

STEP 5: Real-time and scheduled flows

Configure event triggers using Motion webhooks for task creation, schedule changes, deadline alerts, or project updates. Set up scheduled syncs or define on-demand actions such as button clicks in the app.

STEP 6: Test and preview

Run test queries, simulate webhook payloads, validate task synchronization and calendar coordination workflows, check logs, and automatically handle rate limits.

STEP 7: Deploy

Deploy your app with one click, complete with versioning, monitoring, error alerts, and usage analytics. You can easily roll back or iterate on prompts.

STEP 8: Expand

Add new steps like AI-powered workload balancing, automated priority adjustments, or predictive deadline tracking. Connect additional tools and integrate new calendars without any rewrites.
