How this automation works

Mark Motion tasks complete automatically when matching Asana tasks finish. This Applet runs whenever a task is completed in an Asana project and then marks the corresponding task in Motion as complete. It keeps work in sync across Asana and Motion, useful for teams tracking progress across both tools and avoiding duplicate updates.
