Automated Motion Daily Schedule Logging
Every morning, WebRun opens Motion, reads how it has auto-scheduled today's tasks and meetings, checks Gmail for flagged or starred emails that don't yet have a matching task, and logs the full day, including any gaps found, into Airtable as one reference row.
How do I check my Motion schedule against my inbox each morning?
Every morning, WebRun reads how Motion has auto-scheduled today's tasks and meetings, checks Gmail for flagged emails that still lack a matching task, and logs the full day into Airtable as a dated reference row. You start the day seeing the whole plan and any gap between your inbox and your schedule in one place.
- The full day's plan is logged before the first meeting starts
- Flagged emails without a task get caught instead of forgotten
- A dated history of daily plans builds up automatically in Airtable

Questions, answered
Does WebRun create tasks in Motion from those flagged emails?
No. It only notes which flagged emails don't have a matching task yet. Adding the task to Motion is left for you to decide and do.
Does it change or reschedule anything Motion already planned?
No. It only reads Motion's existing auto-scheduled plan for the day, it never edits or reorders your tasks and meetings.
Why log the schedule in Airtable if Motion already has it?
It gives you a dated, searchable history of your actual daily plans over time, which Motion's live view doesn't keep on its own.
