Send Email to Create a Planner task
Hi, We're new to Flow but would like to know if it's possible to send an email to a certain address that will create this as a task in Planner? We would like to CC the person who we want this assigning to and the email content to become the description. Note: We want to avoid creating planner tasks from flagged emails. Is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Insert a table into the Planner task description through Power Automate
Hi, I've been trying to understand how you can insert a table in the Planner task description through Power Automate. I can see that you can create a table in Microsoft Word then paste this into the Planner task description as shown below but I'm getting no luck in trying to re-create this through Power Automate (update task details). I've tried to use the get task details for this task and it shows a string of "| Location | |\r\n| --- | --- |\r\n| Name | |\r\n| Contact Number | |\r\n| Email | |\r\n| Reason for request | |\r\n| Actions required | |\r\n| Initially Assignees | |" then when I try to use this as a template for the action Update task details, it produces this as a string rather than a table. I've also used the Graph API to get the task details but it shows exactly the same as the string already mentioned. I'd be really grateful if anyone could help!Premium Features - where?
Greetings all I have a Planner Plan 1 licence but can't see the premium features. (Gannt etc...) There is no diamond to convert a plan and all the templates I have listed when I create a new plan are "basic" despite the list heading saying "Basic and Premium". Any advice appreciated. TIAPlanner Comments Notifications Resolved
Just created what i believe is a highly effective method to ensure Planner Comment Notifications work seamlessly. We're all familiar with the challenge of comments getting overlooked, especially when staff members haven't previously engaged with a particular task. My new Power Automate solution addresses this issue by sending emails (or you can switch to Teams if preferred) to everyone assigned to a task whenever a comment is posted. The email includes the comment itself and a link to the corresponding task. To adhere to best practices, I created the automation in my user account but set it up to automatically send from an admin@ account. This step isn't mandatory but is recommended, especially if you anticipate commenting on numerous tasks yourself as the automation "owner". I've uploaded a brief 20-second video demonstrating the functionality. I'd appreciate likes and comments, and I'm more than willing to share the solution. This automation is part of a larger course/solution package I'm developing. Other upcoming features include automatic assignment of unique project codes (you can catch a glimpse of it in the video), auto-assignment of staff based on labels (for instance, if your yellow label is labeled Marketing, it automatically assigns everyone in marketing when used), and more. I'm eager to hear your thoughts on the comment notification solution; I believe it's one of the most visually appealing solutions available. If want to access the comment notification just @mention me in the comments below.
New Premium planner plans not showing up in PowerAutomate
Hello all, I'm currently experimenting with the trial version of the new premium planner. When I want to create a flow in PowerAutomate and use the "Create task (preview)" operation, or any other planner operation, my premium plans are not showing up in the list, only the basic plans. Are new premium plans not yet integrated with PowerAutomate, or is there another issue?New Microsoft Planner Premium recover deletet bucket?
Hi! We got O365 in a business enviroment, and implemented Planner Premium now in 2025. This morning some kind of a bug happened and a user got several error messages. unfortunatly he didnt take a screenshot. The result was that a bucket, with its tasks, got deleted. ctrl+z didnt work. Is there any way of restoring it nowadays? Surely in a business enviroment setup there is some kind of version history? brgds, HenrikNew Microsoft Planner Premium resource

“Add attachment” in Planner no longer allows file uploads
Hello Microsoft Teams Community, We are experiencing a serious issue: the “Add attachment” option in Microsoft Planner tasks no longer offers the ability to upload files. Until recently, we had three options: Upload from computer Attach from Teams/SharePoint files Add a link to a URL Now, only the “Link to a URL” option appears. This affects all users in our organization and happens across all platforms (Teams desktop, Teams web, and Planner web at tasks.office.com). This is not a permissions or setup issue: The plan is connected to a Microsoft 365 Group File uploads via the “Files” tab in Teams still work No settings have been changed on our side This is critical for our business: we and our clients rely on uploading documents directly to tasks for project tracking. Without this function, Planner becomes unusable for us, and we’ll have to consider switching to a different tool. Can someone from Microsoft confirm: Is this a bug or a recent product change? When can we expect the file upload functionality to return? Thank you in advance for any help or clarification.
