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

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

Authenticate Microsoft Teams
Now, click the Microsoft Teams node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Microsoft Teams settings. Authentication allows you to use Microsoft Teams through Latenode.
Configure the Motion and Microsoft Teams Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Motion and Microsoft Teams Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- 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.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Motion, Microsoft Teams, 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 Microsoft Teams integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Motion and Microsoft Teams (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 Microsoft Teams
Motion + Google Calendar + Microsoft Teams: When a new task is created in Motion, automatically create an event in Google Calendar and send a notification in Microsoft Teams to inform the team about the kickoff meeting.
Microsoft Teams + Motion + Asana: When a new channel message is posted in Microsoft Teams, create a task in Motion to address the feedback mentioned in the message, then create a story in Asana for tracking purpose.
