Planner Calendar does not update in Outlook
I went the route of adding a parallel action and an Outlook Create an Event because of syncing issues I noticed here. I created a shared calendar for our unit first within Outlook first.
So, right now, it runs as such (simplified) we have a form for requests- once submitted > Planner Task created > 5 second Delay> Planner Task description updated with specific form results inserted > Outlook Calendar item created.
Until the sync issue is resolved, this seems to be an easy work around that doesn't require any refreshing or manual intervention.
Its november 2020 and the issue is still here. I wouldve gone for the automator option but and event doesnt contain the checklist of the task. Just flat out annoying
I am also facing the same issue - tasks added in Planner are not reflected in Outlook calendar unless we manually sync for each user.
Please let me know if anyone has found a solution / workaround for this
This blog post has worked for me for the last year or 2. It may need some time to update. Clicking the Send/Receive all Folders button will get them to show up in Microsoft Outlook.
