Supported Event Types

Motion supports a variety of event types, all of which are treated as fixed calendar commitments. These events sync bi-directionally with connected external calendars.

Event Type	Details
Meetings	Standard calendar events created in Motion or synced from external calendars. Can include attendees, links, and locations.
Bookings	Events created automatically when someone schedules time using your Motion booking link. Includes host/invitee details, reminders, and confirmations.
Recurring events	Events that repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or on custom cadences. Recurrence rules are preserved from the source calendar.
Personal events	Non-work events added directly to Motion or imported from external calendars (e.g., appointments, classes).
Team events	Shared events within a workspace that appear on relevant calendars.
All-day events	Span an entire day or multiple days. Motion treats these as Busy for the full duration, meaning tasks will not be auto-scheduled during that day unless the event is marked as Free.

All-day: Special type of event that affects the entire day [for more info on all-day events click here].

Behavior

• All event types are fixed in time; Motion does not auto-reschedule them.

• Events always override tasks when conflicts occur.

• Changes made in Motion or an external calendar reflect in both systems.

• Motion does support creating all-day events directly — these can be created in your Motion calendar and will sync in.

Limitations

• Complex recurrence rules may depend on the external calendar (e.g., exceptions to a recurring meeting).
