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!

To connect Motion AI scheduling app to Power Automate with their API, you can use the “HTTP” action in Power Automate to make HTTP requests to the Motion API and retrieve the data you need.
Here are the steps 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:
Create a new flow in Power Automate.
Add the “When a task is completed” trigger to your flow and select the Microsoft Planner connector.
In the “When a task is completed” trigger, specify the plan and task you want to monitor for completion.
Add the “HTTP” action to your flow and specify the Motion API endpoint and authentication credentials.
In the “HTTP” action, use the following expression to extract the data you need from the response:
body('HTTP')
Add the “Create task” action to your flow and specify the data you want to include in the Motion task.
