# 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.

## **Examples of Tasks with Siri**

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Example 1: Quick Task Creation" %}
**Example 1: Quick Task Creation**

* Command: “Hey Siri, Motion, schedule a call with Sarah tomorrow at 2 PM.”
* **Result in Motion**
* Title: Call with Sarah
* Due Date: Tomorrow, 2 PM
* Priority: Medium
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Example 2: High-Priority Task" %}
**Example 2: High-Priority Task**

* Command: “Hey Siri, Motion, finish the quarterly report by next Monday. High priority.”
* **Result in Motion**
* Title: Finish Quarterly Report
* Due Date: Next Monday
* Priority: High
  {% endtab %}
  {% endtabs %}

## **Best Practices**

* Use clear and structured voice commands.
* Pause briefly between *"Hey Siri"* and *"Motion."*
* Be specific with task details (e.g., time, priority, deadline).

**Good Example:**

> "Hey Siri, Motion, draft the sales strategy document by Friday, two hours block."

**Bad Example:**

> "Hey Siri, Motion, do the thing."
