This is a great feature, but seems it's not mature yet. When I create a Planner task in a flow, the assignee does not receive any notification about this new task. The plan I used has the option to send notifications to the conversation feed enabled, but it only sends notifications when the task is updated or completed, not when it's created.
- Do anyone know when Planner in MS Flow will support triggers? Any ETA?
Here is the blog which explains how to
- Create Planner task when an email flagged in office 365
- Create Planner task when email is received from selective user
- Import task from SharePoint list
- Create new Planner task when a new card is added in Trello.

- Nice post Santhosh...one question off topic: do you have a RSS for your comapny blog so I can add to my feedly RSS :-)?
Thanks jcgonzalezmartin. Here is the link for RSS feed. http://www.jijitechnologies.com/jijiwebservice.asmx/GetBlogsRss
Adding Flow to create tasks from Outlook into Planner is nice but its a one way flow. So when you mark a task complete in Planner it doesn't mark it complete in Outlook. Not sure how this really solves anything.
- I've had a go exploring the features. It looks good. Are we ever likely to see support in the reverse direction. e.g. When I create a Planner task, create a Wunderlist/Outlook task?
Hi Philemon,
I can certainly confirm that the way you asked for (Planner creates a task in Outlook) already is a working feature today.
However, it is not working with Wunderlist or the new successor of Wunderlist, the Microsoft To-Do App.
In addition, it just creates tasks, but no calendar entries. This is still something to be done manually once you created a new card in Planner which in itself automatically creates a task in Outlook. It is up to you then to drag this automatically created task to a certain date and time, even if this information is already part of the information in your planner card (e.g. due date)
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Joachim
Hi Joachim Schirra, can you confirm that you manually start a trigger each time when new cards are created in Planner? So it will be created in Outlook.
- Not sure when it will be. Lets hope for the best!
This is great news! Something I know a lot of customers have been waiting for.
Thanks for posting jcgonzalezmartin. Yes, its the next big mile stone for Planner adoption. Also it seems Microsoft is working on the Planner limitations which I have posted lasted month. (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Planner/Planner-Limitations/m-p/61650#M705). Now we can assign up to 300 tasks per user. SO all positive things will ease Planner adoption :)
Agree!!
