How to connect Paperform and Motion
Create a New Scenario to Connect Paperform and Motion
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node β a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Paperform, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Paperform or Motion will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Paperform or Motion, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Paperform Node
Select the Paperform node from the app selection panel on the right.

- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that donβt 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.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Paperform, Motion, and any additional nodes, donβt 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 βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the Paperform and Motion integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Paperform and Motion (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Paperform and Motion
Paperform + Motion + Google Calendar: When a new form submission is received in Paperform, a task is created in Motion with details from the submission. Then, a Google Calendar event is created based on the Motion task's due date.
Paperform + Motion + Slack: When a new form submission is received in Paperform, a task is created in Motion. Slack is notified when a new task is created in Motion due to a Paperform submission.
