Planning the week
Maya Okafor, product manager at Acme Ltd, asked what was scheduled for her this week. Memtro listed her tasks with their scheduled times and due dates, and named the three already overdue.
Motion + Memtro
What is scheduled for me this week, and what is overdue?
Motion schedules your work into your calendar, and Memtro reads that plan with you. It reads tasks by workspace, project, assignee, status, label or name, with due dates, priority, duration and when Motion scheduled them. It also reads workspaces with their statuses and labels, projects, people and recurring tasks. When asked and granted, it can create, update, complete, move, unassign and delete tasks, and comment on them. It can also create projects and create or delete recurring tasks. The key acts as you, and task descriptions and people's emails are never returned.
In Memtro
What you can do with Motion in Memtro
Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Motion tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.
What it does
- 01Lists tasks by workspace, project, assignee, status, label or name, with due date, priority, duration and scheduled time.
- 02Reads workspaces with their labels and statuses, and which statuses count as done.
- 03Reads projects, people in a workspace and recurring tasks.
- 04When asked and granted, creates a task, optionally auto-scheduled into the assignee's calendar. Motion may notify the assignee.
- 05When asked and granted, updates, completes, moves, unassigns or deletes a task, or posts a comment everyone on the task can see.
- 06When asked and granted, creates a project, or creates or deletes a recurring task that Motion keeps scheduling.
Acts when asked
When you ask it to
These tools change something in Motion. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
- 01Create a task
- 02Update a task (name, status, due date, priority, assignee, scheduling)
- 03Move a task to another workspace
- 04Unassign a task
- 05Delete a task
- 06Comment on a task
- 07Create a project
- 08Create a recurring task
- 09Delete a recurring task
In practice
Ask it like you would a colleague
Once Motion is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.
Motion + Memtro
What is scheduled for me this week?
Which of my tasks are overdue?
What is left open in the website relaunch project?
Which recurring tasks are set up in the operations workspace?
Create a task to review the Q3 budget, due Friday.
Handing over a task
Tom Reilly, team lead at Northwind, asked Memtro to give the supplier review to Priya Sharma. Memtro reassigned the task in Motion, which placed it on her schedule.
Teams
Where it fits
The teams that lean on Motion most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.
- ProductHear what customers actually ask forProduct manager, Researcher, Designer, Head of product“Which customers asked for SSO this quarter, and what is their combined ARR?”Used alongside Help Scout, HubSpot, Linear, Jira, Slack and 6 more.

Better together
Works with
A record in Motion is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.
- Engineering and operationsMotion with GitHubIssues, pull requests, code and commits, searchable by anyone who can ask a question.
- Engineering and operationsMotion with AWS CloudWatchLogs, metrics and alarms from AWS, answered in plain English with the query that found them.
- Engineering and operationsMotion with SentryAsk what is breaking in production and get the stack trace, not a dashboard.
- Documents and wikisMotion with NotionSearch pages and query databases, and write to them when you ask.
- Documents and wikisMotion with Google DriveSearch Drive and read Docs, Sheets and Slides as text, and write a Doc when you ask.
- Documents and wikisMotion with ConfluenceSearch and read wiki pages, and write them when you ask.
- Email, calendar and chatMotion with GmailSearch and read mail so the last thread with a customer is one question away, and send the reply when you ask.
- Email, calendar and chatMotion with SlackSearch messages, read channel history and threads, post when you ask, and answer when mentioned.
- Email, calendar and chatMotion with Google CalendarMeetings in a window, event details, and the next two weeks synced into memory, and events it can create, change or cancel when you ask.

Setup
How to connect
Connect withAPI key
- 1
In Motion, go to Settings, then API, and create an API key. Copy it straight away, as Motion shows it only once.
- 2
In Memtro, open Connections → Motion and paste it into API key.
- 3
The key acts as you, so what Memtro creates is created by you. An administrator grants the task and project actions by name to the teams that may use them.
- 4
Ask what is scheduled for you this week and what is overdue.
Also works from
Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Motion tools are the same everywhere.
FAQ
Questions
Can Memtro change anything in Motion?+
Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: create a task; update a task (name, status, due date, priority, assignee, scheduling); move a task to another workspace; unassign a task; delete a task; comment on a task; create a project; create a recurring task; delete a recurring task. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
Who can use a Motion connection?+
A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.
Does Memtro store my Motion data?+
Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.
How do I connect Motion?+
API key. In Motion, go to Settings, then API, and create an API key. Copy it straight away, as Motion shows it only once.
