📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The session aimed to integrate task fetching from the Motion API into a structured workflow, enhancing task management and automation processes.
Key Activities
- Utilized the Motion App API’s ‘List Tasks’ endpoint to retrieve tasks.
- Developed Python code for fetching tasks, processing JSON responses into Pandas DataFrames, and managing pagination.
- Resolved ‘InvalidStateError’ in VS Code by clearing cache and updating extensions.
- Implemented API rate limit management by introducing a delay between calls.
- Updated code for column presence checks to improve robustness.
- Integrated the task-fetching script with scheduled workflows for roles like Chief of Staff and Task Manager.
- Developed workflows for actionable insights and briefings, focusing on task filtering and synchronization.
Achievements
- Successfully fetched and processed tasks from the Motion API.
- Improved error handling and data validation in the Python script.
- Established a structured workflow for integrating task fetching with automation tools.
Pending Tasks
- Further optimize API call efficiency and explore server-side filtering options.
- Continue enhancing the integration of task management workflows.
