# 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.

<table><thead><tr><th width="171.60546875">Event Type</th><th>Details</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Meetings</strong></td><td>Standard calendar events created in Motion or synced from external calendars. Can include attendees, links, and locations.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Bookings</strong></td><td>Events created automatically when someone schedules time using your Motion booking link. Includes host/invitee details, reminders, and confirmations.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Recurring events</strong></td><td>Events that repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or on custom cadences. Recurrence rules are preserved from the source calendar.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Personal events</strong></td><td>Non-work events added directly to Motion or imported from external calendars (e.g., appointments, classes).</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Team events</strong></td><td>Shared events within a workspace that appear on relevant calendars.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>All-day events</strong></td><td>Span an entire day or multiple days. Motion treats these as <em>Busy</em> for the full duration, meaning <strong>tasks will not be auto-scheduled during that day</strong> unless the event is marked as <em>Free</em>.</td></tr></tbody></table>

All-day: Special type of event that affects the entire day \[for more info on all-day events click [here](https://help.usemotion.com/tasks-events-and-auto-scheduling-101/tasks-not-scheduling-where-you-expect-heres-whats-actually-happening)].

**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).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://www.usemotion.com/help/project-management/meeting-events/reference-meeting-events/supported-event-types.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
