How to connect Motion and ServiceM8
Create a New Scenario to Connect Motion and ServiceM8
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 ServiceM8 will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Motion or ServiceM8, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
