Hi,

Has anyone been successful connecting the Motion AI scheduling app to power automate with their API? Can you advise how its done?
I want to create a flow where a user ticking off a task in a specific Microsoft Planner plan will create a task in Motion for a team member.
Not a developer, not sure where to start, have just learned what an API even is, probably over my head, but any advice or a direction to a good youtube tutorial would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

In the “When a task is completed” trigger, specify the plan and task you want to monitor for completion.

In the “HTTP” action, use the following expression to extract the data you need from the response:
