Planner with Flow - issues with Group Id and Plan Id

I try to use Flows to create a list of Planner tasks.   When I use a predefined template (i.e. "Post messages to Microsoft Teams when a new task is created in Planner"), I can select the Plan Id in...

Is this a new feature?  Previous tasks I have created did not require the group id.  I went to modify my Flow and add another task and now group id is stopping me.  I am a Global Admin.

James Nelson this change was introduced after Planner changed to accommodate multiple plans per group.  I think we are looking at the permissions issue reading Groups - but the GroupID from Url is a workaround I've used successfully.

Best regards,

Brian

    Brian-Smith Is there any update for this issue? I've also met it when I tried to get use the Power Apps Planner connector. Some off the functions need to pass the groupid as the parameter, how should I get all of my planner group id?

      Ethan_Zhang the GroupID can be seen as the 'owner' field if you make a graph call to get the Planner plan with the PlanID - so a call to Graph like https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/planner/plans/<plan id here> will return:

      {
      "@odata.etag": "xxxxxx"",
      "createdDateTime": "2019-06-04T16:19:22.4969055Z",
      "owner": "14a58c41-3979-4057-babd-cc3f69b01d8b",
      "title": "Ready2019",
       
      And 14a58c41-3979-4057-babd-cc3f69b01d8b is the GroupId
       
      I hope that helps.  Requesting in the UserVoice for Power Automate may get the options fixed in Flow - but hopefully this workaround may help for now.

        Brian-Smith Thanks for your kindly help! Although, I don't know how to make a graph call, could you share some useful reference link so that I can do some research for it? Very appreciate it!

    Thanks Brian.  Makes sense.  I did grab the id from the URL and it worked fine so I'll adjust to it.  Just caught me off guard.  I'll look for the road map.
