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

Add the Jotform Node

- 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Jotform, 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 Jotform and Motion integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Jotform 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 Jotform and Motion
Jotform + Motion + Google Calendar: When a new submission is received in Jotform, a task is created in Motion with the submission details, and a corresponding event is added to Google Calendar to block out time for the task.
Motion + Jotform + Slack: When a task is updated in Motion (specifically when completed), Jotform retrieves the task details to generate a summary, which is then sent to a designated Slack channel.
