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

Add the Microsoft OneNote Node
Select the Microsoft OneNote node from the app selection panel on the right.

- 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 Microsoft OneNote, 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 Microsoft OneNote and Motion integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft OneNote 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 Microsoft OneNote and Motion
Microsoft OneNote + Motion + Microsoft Teams: When a new note is created in a specific OneNote section, a task is created in Motion to address the content of the note. Upon task completion in Motion, a message is sent to a Microsoft Teams channel with an update and link to the task.
Motion + Microsoft OneNote + Slack: When a task is updated in Motion (e.g., completed), the details are appended to a designated OneNote page as a meeting summary. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel to inform team members about the update, including a link to the OneNote summary.
