Momentum + Zapier
Trigger Zaps from focus events and push data anywhere — no engineering required.
What you can do
How Momentum reads automation & glue layer time
Zapier time is captured by the desktop agent like any other app — here's how it flows into classification, scores, and dashboards.
Where Zapier should land in your app rules
Mark automation platforms Productive for IT, Ops, and RevOps departments via overrides, Unmarked in Global App Rules elsewhere. Most employees never open them, so the global default barely matters — what matters is crediting the people whose actual job is wiring systems together, without scoring a one-off Zap edit for anyone else.
Zapier + Momentum, answered
What Momentum events can trigger automations?+
Typical triggers include threshold breaches on productivity or idle time, machine lifecycle changes (Pending, Approved, Rejected), and daily rollups of active-vs-expected desk time — routed to whatever your automation tool connects to.
Can I automate machine approvals?+
You can automate the surrounding workflow — notifications, ticket creation, reminders for machines sitting in Pending — while the Approve or Reject decision itself stays with an Admin in the console, by design.
Do self-hosted automation tools work?+
Yes. Self-hosted options like n8n integrate the same way, which suits teams that want activity-derived events to stay inside their own infrastructure.
