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

Add the Monster API Node
Select the Monster API node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Monster API, 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 Monster API and Motion integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Monster API and Motion (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
