Schedule weekly Motion tasks with Latenode automation

This template creates a Motion task on a weekly schedule. A schedule starts the run.

JavaScript sets the title, workspace, and due date for that week, then calls the Motion API to create the task. Put the Motion API key in that JavaScript node. Set the weekday and time on the schedule.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
