Create planner actions from outlook
Hola Planner community.
I just discovered "Planner" and I am a bit overexcited about it. I think it has a HUGE potential. I wonder if in hte near future we will be able to create actions in planner from outlook messages?. I would like that becasue that way I could automatically add the: "Who submitted the request (sender)", "when what the request created (send date)", and all the details would be there. Even better if i could drag and drop messages from outlook to buckets in planner....
Add fields to each action (such as Created by and Creation Date) will be super useful as well, since we will be able to track KPIs... I hope I am making sense. oscar

Some workaround is possible with Microsoft Flow

Why don't you look at iPlanner pro for Outlook. You will be able to create a task based on an email. you can also upload attachments to a task. Actually you will be able to do all, directyly from Outlook. That is on, Outlook for Window, MAC, WEB and IOS

Hola Alon, thanks for your reply. I want to use sync MS Outlook with MS Planner because my organization has the licesense already. The app4.pro is (almost) what I am looking for right now. oscar
HI Oscar Gutierrez, Glad that our add-in meet your requirements.
FYI - Apps4.Pro is available as Outlook Desktop add-in and Outlook web add-in (available from Office store). The Desktop add-in provides deeper Outlook integration such as Sync Planner tasks with Outlook tasks, Outlook calendar, Set reminders for tasks, etc.. where as the Outlook Web add-in is best suited for MAC and users who have deployment problems.
Apps4.Pro Outlook Desktop - http://apps4.pro/planner-outlook-integration.aspx
Apps4.Pro Outlook web add-in - http://apps4.pro/tasks.aspxAdditionally, for your requirement to add custom fields to tasks such as Created by, Created on, Priority, etc...can be done using Apps4.Pro web add-in.
Based on your needs you can choose the add-in. Thanks.
