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.

        Are you sure? When I use planner I only get Actions not Triggers see screenshot below
