Task from Siri

Overview

Use Siri to create tasks in Motion hands-free. This is ideal when you’re on the go, driving, or multitasking, letting you capture tasks quickly without needing to type.

Key benefits

• Hands-free task creation → Capture ideas or reminders with just your voice.

• Fast and efficient → Tasks are created in seconds.

• Seamless sync → Siri sends details directly into your Motion workspace.

How It Works

1. Enable Siri Shortcuts → Configure Motion’s Siri integration in the app.

2. Speak a command → Use natural voice prompts like “Hey Siri, Motion, add a task to…”.

3. Task appears in Motion → Siri creates the task and syncs it automatically into your workspace.

System flow

• User → Siri: “Hey Siri, Motion, add a task to call Bob tomorrow.”

• Siri → Motion: Creates the task.

• Motion → User: Task confirmation appears in the workspace.

Best Practices

• Be specific with verbs and dates (“submit by Friday,” “call at 3 PM”) so Motion captures correct details.

• Keep tasks short and focused — Siri works best with single, clear requests.

• Review tasks in Motion to confirm deadlines and priorities are set correctly.
