How to integrate Motion in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your Motion connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect Motion
When prompted, authorize access to Motion in WEXTL once. Motion credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
WEXTL wants to integrate with your Motion account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with Motion yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Motion to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How Motion connects and integrates with WEXTL
Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever Motion app is called in workflows. That allows your project management automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that Motion supports.
The following table illustrates what fields Motion integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].
Video slide demonstrates how Motion is connected in WEXTL builder [4].

Connect Motion to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Motion below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Motion. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with Motion integration
Select Watch Tasks trigger from Motion - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Motion, workflow will start [7] from Watch Tasks node.
Search for Delete a Task, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Tasks and Delete a Task, so only important data pass from Watch Tasks to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Motion automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
Motion on WEXTL has 10 modules for building project management automations. Explore Motion documentation for more.
Video slide demonstrates how Watch Tasks and Delete a Task [6] nodes are used in Motion workflow.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating Motion in your workflows.
Motion has 1 trigger, including "Watch Tasks". Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.
Integration has 9 actions, including "Get a Project", "Get a Task", and "Get Users", and more. Refer to our Motion Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.
The Motion integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by Motion official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.
Absolutely. Where Motion provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever Motion or any other service sends event to webhook URL.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for Motion inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with Motion modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
