How to connect Acuity Scheduling and Motion
Create a New Scenario to Connect Acuity Scheduling and Motion
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Acuity Scheduling, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Acuity Scheduling or Motion will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Acuity Scheduling or Motion, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Acuity Scheduling Node
Select the Acuity Scheduling node from the app selection panel on the right.

Configure the Acuity Scheduling
Click on the Acuity Scheduling node to configure it. You can modify the Acuity Scheduling URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Motion Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Acuity Scheduling node, select Motion from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Motion.

Authenticate Motion
Now, click the Motion node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Motion settings. Authentication allows you to use Motion through Latenode.
Configure the Acuity Scheduling and Motion Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Acuity Scheduling and Motion Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Acuity Scheduling, Motion, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Acuity Scheduling and Motion integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Acuity Scheduling and Motion (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Acuity Scheduling and Motion
Acuity Scheduling + Google Calendar + Motion: When a new appointment is created in Acuity Scheduling, create a corresponding event in Google Calendar. Then, create a task in Motion to prepare for the appointment.
Motion + Acuity Scheduling + Slack: When a task is moved in Motion, check availability in Acuity Scheduling to schedule time. If scheduling is needed, send a Slack message to a specified channel with a reminder to book an appointment.
