Using Motion.io's "Tag Added" Zapier Trigger

Motion.io’s Zapier integration allows you to build powerful automated workflows across your integrated systems and apps. One particularly useful workflow involves triggering actions in other platforms when a project tag is added in Motion.io.

By combining Motion.io's Project Tag Added trigger with Zapier actions, you can notify teammates, update tools, or launch processes based on project labels—all without lifting a finger.

How It Works

To get started, create a new Zap in your Zapier account and set the trigger to “Project Tag Added” in Motion.io. This will fire every time a new tag is applied to any project in your account.

Then, choose the appropriate action in another app. This could be sending a Slack message, creating a task in ClickUp, updating a CRM field, or anything else Zapier supports.

Example Use Cases

• Automatically invite a client to a new project

  When a specific tag is added—like “SEO Add-On” or “Phase 2”—you can trigger a new Motion.io project for that client or add new tasks to their current project, keeping work organized by scope.

• Create tasks in your project management tool

  Send tasks to apps like ClickUp, Asana, Trello, or Monday.com when a tag is applied, helping keep your internal team aligned across your full software toolkit.

• Trigger emails from your CRM or marketing tools

  Apply a tag in Motion.io to automatically send an email via HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Mailchimp, or other client engagement tools—great for onboarding sequences, reminders, or upsell campaigns.

• Send client data to a spreadsheet or database

  Use tags to log key milestones or events in a Google Sheet or Airtable base, helping you maintain custom reports or trigger downstream workflows in your automation setup.

• Start a Slack notification or internal handoff

  Add a tag like “Ready for Review” to notify your team in Slack, helping streamline internal communication across your connected team tools without context slipping through the cracks.

Because Zapier supports thousands of apps, the possibilities for automation using Motion.io’s project tags are nearly endless.
