Updated 1 May 2025
Overview
Export task breakdowns from Projan plans to Motion where they are auto-scheduled based on priority and deadlines. Motion’s AI scheduler optimises your calendar around the exported tasks.
Prerequisites
- Motion account with API access
- API key from Motion settings
- Projan team admin or individual account
Setup Steps
- Go to Settings > Integrations > Motion
- Enter your Motion API key (found in Motion > Settings > API)
- Click “Connect”
- Select a default project
Permissions Requested
API key grants full access to your Motion workspace. Projan only creates tasks in projects you explicitly select during export.
What Data is Accessed
- Project names and IDs
- Workspace information
Data Storage
- Encrypted API key
Auto-Scheduling Configuration
Exported tasks use the following defaults:
- Deadline type: SOFT
- Schedule: Work Hours
- Auto-scheduled: Enabled
Priority Mapping
| Projan Priority | Motion Priority |
|---|---|
| Urgent / Critical | ASAP |
| High | HIGH |
| Medium (default) | MEDIUM |
| Low | LOW |
Disconnecting
Go to Settings > Integrations > Motion > Disconnect.
API key is purged immediately.
Troubleshooting
“Rate limited”
- Motion allows 12 requests per minute
- Larger exports are queued and retried with automatic backoff
“Invalid API key”
- Regenerate your API key in Motion settings and reconnect
Tasks not scheduling
- Check your Motion project settings and calendar availability
- Ensure the target project has auto-scheduling enabled
No subtask support
- Motion does not support subtasks via API
- Parent task information is included in the task description
