Plans from Planner are not showing in Flow or third party Add-ins

I have seen several case where Plans from the Planner are not showing in the API. This means you will not be able to use Microsoft Flows for the Planner or use third party Add-ins with the Planner. I am not sure why this happens and I have only seen this on af few O365 tenants. It is a big prblem for these organisation and the Planner is simply not a useful tool.

 

Please advice? and it would be interesting to hear if any other have the same problem.

    I am experiencing this same issue with the addition of IPlanner Pro, which I was using as a workaround, holding on to old Plans while not showing new plans.  It is very frustrating and equally renders this product nearly useless for daily use in a busy environment.

      Hi Paul

      Yes it is verf frustrating but we can expect the problem tp be solved this week. Microsoft is sending out the update that should handle this. Both iPlanner Pro, Microsoft Flow and other apps and add-in that are using the Planner should be fully functional by the end of the week.

       

      You are welcome to give me a notice should it not be solved and I will contact Microsoft.

        I was wondering if the updated solved your problem? I am asking because I still miss some of my plans in iPlanner Pro (the add on to Outlook that lets you create tasks out of an email). When I try to select a plan, I do get a list of plans (about 8 or so of them), but not the one I am looking for.

      I have got an update from Microsoft saying they expect to start rolling out the fix next week.  Typically this sort of update will complete by the end of the week.

       

      I therefore hope this problem will be sloved soon.

       

      Should anyone still have this issue in two weeks time please posted it.

        Looks like the limitation is based on the number of plans that can be displayed in the flow look-up for Planner plans. I got around this by grabbing the plan id from planner (found in the url) and pasting it directly in flow look-up. It resolves based on id anyway ;-) hope this helps
