Practical ways you can use OneNote and Motion
Turn notes into actionable tasks
When a new note is added to a designated OneNote section, Zapier automatically creates a new task in Motion. Business owners can easily ensure that every note is actionable, helping prioritize and manage tasks efficiently. This reduces manual effort and aids in ensuring important ideas don’t fall through the cracks.
Business OwnerSync new tasks with project details
When a new Motion task is created in a project workspace, Zapier automatically appends its details to a note in OneNote. This helps project managers keep a holistic view of task specifics alongside key project documents, streamlining collaboration and reducing context-switching between tools.

Frequently Asked Questions about OneNote + Motion integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with OneNote and Motion
How do I set up an integration between OneNote and Motion?
To set up an integration between OneNote and Motion, utilize our platform to create a 'Zap' where you select OneNote as the trigger app and Motion as the action app. You will need to authenticate both applications and then link a trigger event, like creating a new note in OneNote, with an action in Motion, such as creating a new task.
What triggers can be used from OneNote for automation with Motion?
Currently, you can use triggers such as 'New Note' or 'New Notebook' in OneNote. Whenever these events occur, they can automatically initiate actions in Motion like adding a new task or updating your schedule.
Can I create tasks in Motion from checkboxes in OneNote?
Yes, you can configure the integration to create tasks in Motion using checkboxes added to notes in your OneNote account. By setting specific rules during setup, each checked box can generate a corresponding task.
Are there limitations on the number of notes that can trigger actions in Motion?
There are no inherent limitations on how many notes can trigger actions; however, your plan may have limits on the number of automation tasks you can run per month. It's advisable to review your subscription details for more information.
What kinds of actions can be performed in Motion when a new note is made in OneNote?
Once a new note is created in OneNote, you might set up actions such as scheduling an event or alerting team members about updates through automatically generated tasks or notifications within Motion.
Is it possible to sync data bidirectionally between OneNote and Motion?
Currently, our integration supports one-way automation where events triggered by changes or updates in OneNote lead to corresponding actions within Motion. Bidirectional syncing needs separate setups for reverse processes if required.
Do I need technical skills to integrate OneNote with Motion?
No technical skills are necessary. Our platform provides an intuitive interface that guides you through selecting triggers and actions step-by-step without needing any programming knowledge.
