Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Motion, Zoho Mail, 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 Zoho Mail integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Motion and Zoho Mail (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 Zoho Mail
Motion + Zoho Mail + Slack: When a Motion task event occurs (e.g., a task is overdue), an email is sent to the manager via Zoho Mail, and then a reminder is sent to the assignee via Slack.
Zoho Mail + Motion + Google Calendar: When a new email matching search criteria arrives in Zoho Mail (e.g., an email about a meeting), a task is created in Motion to track the time spent and an event is created in Google Calendar to block off that time.
