Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Motion, Volunteero, 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 Volunteero integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Motion and Volunteero (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 Volunteero
Volunteero + Motion + Slack: When a volunteer logs hours in Volunteero, a summary of those hours is created and sent to Motion as a task. Once the task is created in Motion, a message is sent to a specified Slack channel, notifying the team.
Volunteero + Motion + Google Sheets: When volunteer hours are reported in Volunteero, the data is sent to Motion to create a task related to the report. Subsequently, a summary of the data is added as a new row in a Google Sheet for tracking and analysis.
