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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Motion, Slack bot, 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 Slack bot integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Motion and Slack bot (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 Slack bot
Motion + Google Calendar + Slack bot: When a new task is created in Motion, an event is automatically created in Google Calendar. A notification is then sent via Slack to inform the team about the new calendar event.
Slack bot + Motion + Jira: When a message is sent to a specific Slack channel, it triggers the creation of a new task in Motion. If the created task meets complexity criteria, a corresponding Jira issue is also created.
