Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

Task Status Updated on Motion

Description:Emit new event when the status of a specific task is updated.

Version:0.0.1

Motion Overview#

The Motion API empowers users to streamline project management and productivity tasks. Within Pipedream's environment, you can leverage this API to automate actions based on project updates, task completions, and team collaborations. It's a toolset that sails smoothly with Pipedream's knack for creating swift integrations and workflows, making it possible to connect Motion with other apps to optimize project tracking, notifications, and data synchronization.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Motion	`motion`	`app`	This component uses the Motion app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the Motion API on this schedule
Task Id	`taskId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Motion uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Motion account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Motion APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Microsoft 365 Planner Overview#

The Microsoft 365 Planner API lets you tap into the robust task management capabilities of Planner within the Microsoft 365 suite. With this API on Pipedream, you can automate tasks, sync Planner data with other services, manage plans, tasks, and buckets programmatically. This opens up possibilities for creating custom workflows to enhance productivity, streamline project tracking, and maintain synchronization across various platforms.
