# Native Integrations

## Introduction 

Motion includes several built-in integrations designed to capture tasks and updates from the tools you use most often. These integrations are available without third-party connectors.

## Task from Email

**Overview**

Turn your emails into actionable tasks with Motion’s **Task from Email** integration. Instead of manually copying details, simply forward an email to Motion and it automatically creates a task for you.

**Key benefits**

* **Effortless creation** → No need to switch tools or retype.
* **Smart parsing** → Subject lines, dates, and priorities are automatically extracted.
* **Workflow-friendly** → Works with your existing email accounts and habits.

#### **How It Works**

1. **Forward the email** → Send any message from your connected email account(s) to [`tasks@usemotion.com`](mailto:tasks@usemotion.com).
2. **Automatic parsing** → Motion scans the subject and body for task details such as title, due date, and priority.
3. **Task creation** → A new task appears in your Motion workspace with relevant details pre-filled.

## **Task Details Mapping**

<table><thead><tr><th width="219.765625">Email field</th><th width="187.15625">Motion task field</th><th>Exmaple</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Subject line</strong></td><td>Task Title</td><td>“Prepare Client Report”</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Body text</strong></td><td>Task Description</td><td>“Finalize the Q4 report by Friday.”</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Detected date/time</strong></td><td>Due Date</td><td>“Friday, 3 PM”</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Detected urgency words</strong></td><td>Priority</td><td>“High Priority”</td></tr></tbody></table>

## **Examples of Email → Task**

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Example 1: Client Call Reminder" %}
**Example 1: Client Call Reminder**

* **Subject**: Client Call
* **Body**: Call Client A on Friday at 3 PM. High Priority.

**Result in Motion**:

* Title: Call Client A
* Due Date: Friday, 3 PM
* Priority: High
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Example 2: Vacation Research" %}
**Example 2: Vacation Research**

* **Subject**: Research Coffee Shops in Brisbane
* **Body**: Complete the research by Wednesday. Medium Priority.

**Result in Motion**:

* Title: Research Coffee Shops in Brisbane
* Due Date: Wednesday
* Priority: Medium
  {% endtab %}
  {% endtabs %}

## **Best Practices**

* Use clear subject lines.
* Include specific deadlines and priorities in the email body.
* Avoid vague phrases like "Do this ASAP" without context.

**Good Example:**

> Subject: Submit Financial Report Body: Submit Q4 financial report by Thursday, priority High.

**Bad Example:**

> Subject: Report Body: Do the thing I mentioned
