Practical ways you can use Smartsheet and Motion
Keep a real-time task dashboard.
Business owners can rely on Zapier to create a real-time task tracking system. If a new task is created in Motion, it's added as a row in Smartsheet via Zapier. This integration helps monitor team progress and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs), reducing task discrepancies and optimizing team performance.
Business OwnerTrack campaigns in both Motion and Smartsheet.
For marketing teams juggling multiple campaigns, Zapier keeps everything organized. When a new campaign task is added in Smartsheet, Zapier automatically transfers the data to Motion, ensuring schedules align with marketing timelines. This setup improves collaboration and speeds up campaign execution across teams.
