Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Motion, Contacts+, 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 Motion and Contacts+ integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Motion and Contacts+ (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Motion and Contacts+
Motion + Contacts+ + Google Calendar: When a task's due date is updated in Motion, the automation retrieves contact details from Contacts+ and creates an event in Google Calendar with the task details and contact information.
Contacts+ + Motion + Slack: When a new contact is added to Contacts+, a new task is created in Motion. Then, a message is sent to a specific Slack channel to notify the project manager about the newly created task.
