Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Motion, ConvertAPI, and any additional nodes, donโ€™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 โ€œRun onceโ€ and triggering an event to check if the Motion and ConvertAPI integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Motion and ConvertAPI (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 ConvertAPI

Motion + ConvertAPI + Google Drive: When a new task event occurs in Motion, convert the associated video file using ConvertAPI and then upload the converted file to a specified folder in Google Drive.

ConvertAPI + Motion + Slack: When a video file is converted using ConvertAPI, and this event is related to a Motion task, send a notification to a Slack channel informing the team about the successful conversion.
