📖Reference: Meeting/Events

Introduction

Events in Motion represent fixed, time-bound commitments such as meetings, bookings, or personal appointments. Unlike tasks, which Motion can move dynamically, events are locked to their scheduled time. Motion syncs events bi-directionally with connected calendars (Google, Outlook, iCloud), ensuring any change made in one system is reflected in the other. Because events are immovable, they always take precedence over tasks — Motion reschedules tasks around events to protect your commitments.

At a Glance

• Fixed commitments → Events cannot be auto-rescheduled by Motion; they always hold their time slot.

• Event types → Supports meetings, bookings, recurring events, and personal events.

• Free vs Busy → Events can be marked as busy (block calendar time) or free (visible but non-blocking).

• Event states → Motion respects standard calendar states (busy, tentative, declined) when syncing and displaying events.

• Bookings → events → All confirmed booking link requests generate events in both Motion and in the connected calendars.

• Conflicts → Events override tasks; if overlap occurs, tasks are moved while events remain fixed. However fixed tasks will remain.

• Reminders & notifications → Event participants receive confirmations and reminder notifications automatically.

Conclusion

Events in Motion are fixed calendar commitments that sync bi-directionally with external calendars. They always take precedence over tasks, ensuring your meetings, bookings, and personal obligations remain protected. Motion respects event states (Free, Busy, Tentative, Declined, Out of Office), applies consistent rules for conflicts, and generates notifications and reminders so participants stay aligned. While tasks flex around your schedule, events anchor it.

Key Takeaway

Events are immovable blocks of time — synced, protected, and prioritized — forming the foundation around which Motion organizes all other work.
