You are right we don't have that trigger, but a Flow can also run on a schedule so the Task update in theory is possible if you write the right logic there

jcgonzalezmartin Yuck, I guess you could work something like that :P.
Just off top of my head this might work
The expression for the adddays might be off, but the problem is, you can't really ever tell when something has already been modified so all your tasks will always get updated everytime unless you put in addition condition checks for don't run if duedate is adddays(statedate,3) etc. But this assumes all due dates are always the same. if you change these manually they will get overwrote back to 3 days everytime, so your options here are limited. It might give you some thought process around how you can get started at least.

I have a flow set up that creates a planner task when an email is flagged, however is there a way to set the:
1. start date of the task to the email received date
2. set the due date to start date + 3 days as mentioned above?
Thanks
