About this integration

Connect Motion to Definable to capture notes by voice or chat, roll up daily activity, retrieve anything by description. Personas call Motion's 27 tools directly from chat or scheduled flows. Wire it to your assistant — capture, organise, and recall through one conversation.

Connect Motion to Definable and it becomes a set of typed tools your agents plan with — triggered by events, run on schedules, or invoked mid-conversation. Every write is checked by the verifier before it lands.

Daily roll-up

Questions, answered.

What teams ask before connecting Motion.

01 What can I automate with Motion on Definable?

Anything Motion exposes through its API. Common productivity workflows on Definable include capture notes by voice or chat, roll up daily activity, retrieve anything by description. Personas can call any of the 27 Motion tools directly, then chain the result into another integration without you writing code.

02 How does Motion authentication work?

Motion uses API_KEY on Definable. You connect once from the integrations page, scoped to the permissions you choose, and from then on any persona that has the integration enabled can act on your behalf. Tokens are encrypted at rest and rotated automatically.

03 Is the Motion integration included in my Definable plan?

Yes — every Definable plan, including Starter, includes access to all 27 Motion tools. You only need a separate Motion subscription if Motion itself charges per seat or per API call.

04 Is using Motion through Definable secure?

Every call from a persona to Motion is logged with the user, persona, prompt, and response. Tokens never leave Definable's secrets vault, scopes are configurable per persona, and you can revoke access at any time from the integration page.
