How to connect Motion and Paypal
Create a New Scenario to Connect Motion and Paypal
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step

Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Motion, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Motion or Paypal will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Motion or Paypal, 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.

- 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.

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