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

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations > Motion
  2. Enter your Motion API key (found in Motion > Settings > API)
  3. Click “Connect”
  4. 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.

  • Workspace information

Data Storage

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
