Planner task to Outlook (desktop) task
Hi all, I am trying to create a task in Planner and have that show as a "task" in Outlook DESKTOP (not web). I am thinking that this should be simple and I'm just missing it. I'd appreciate your ...
madkin12 Sorry to say I have not found the solution. Tasks assigned to me in Planner do not make it to Outlook tasks. The furthest they make it is to the separate To-Do app, which unfortunately for me is a bit of an orphan product and doesn't sync with other things like Outlook does. It also doesn't show up as a sidebar in Outlook desktop, so you need to open up another tab and it's slow to open. Certainly no at-a-glance functionality like Outlook tasks. Sorry I can't help!
You can add the plan to outlook via a subscribed calendar.
