How to connect FreeAgent and Motion
Create a New Scenario to Connect FreeAgent 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 FreeAgent, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, FreeAgent or Motion will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find FreeAgent or Motion, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring FreeAgent, 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 FreeAgent and Motion integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between FreeAgent 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 FreeAgent and Motion
FreeAgent + Motion + Slack: When a new invoice is created in FreeAgent, a task is created in Motion to follow up on the invoice. A notification is then sent to the finance team in Slack about the new invoice and the created Motion task.
Motion + FreeAgent + Google Calendar: When a task is completed in Motion, time spent on it is logged as a task in FreeAgent, and the time is blocked off in Google Calendar to prevent scheduling conflicts.
