Tasks to Calendar
When assigning a task a start/due date, is there a way to get that info passed on to the calendar? Right now I'm not seeing the tasks start or due dates show up in the plan's calendar. Did I miss a step somewhere or is this missing?

Don't get a third party app for this. Who knows what kid of compatibility/security issues you would run the risk of exposing your system to.
Just make a simple Flow. Search the examples for Planner to Outlook or create an Outlook event on new Planner tasks.
I think that will suit your need just fine.

Cannot believe this doesn't exist yet... Please get to coding... work nights, weekends, holidays... provide proper services for your customers. Planner is an island as it exists today.
- Michael NunesCopper ContributorThis is what I do.
1. Create a group which allows the system to create the usual document library, one note, email address and of course gives access to a calendar which you can see in outlook
2. I schedule my task through the planner but knowing that it will not sync to the group calendar.
3. As I create my task I ensure outlook is open and I manually create task in the group calendar
4. Repeat steps 3 and 4 untill all done
Rubbish if changes occur but would love it to sync and it would then makes it the perfect product. This is good enough for me for the moment untill the link is made :)- Michelle SantoroCopper Contributor
Hi, has this been changed so that there is now an automatic link between the start/due date in Planner to Outlook calendar? (fingers crossed)

They just completed the feature request "Add or Integrate Planner Tasks with Calendar". Here's the link to the user voice with some supporting articles.

Hola Quentin,
Has podido arreglar este problema?. Es que a mí me pasa lo mismo y no se como hacerlo.
Gracias.
- Read previous messages, this feature is not in the box so you have to use third party tools

Buenos Días Juan Carlos,
Y sabes, si se esta desarrollando en Planner para que exista esta funcionabilidad, por parte de Microsoft?, es que es un poco engorroso el tener que copiar otra vez todas las tareas en otra aplicación, o por lo menos eso entendí.
Y además es un poco extraño que Microsoft no permita hacer esto y haya que recurrir a terceros en una aplicación que es suya, no?.
Gracias por la ayuda
- SanthoshB1Bronze ContributorIf you are using Outlook client, you can try this add-in to get your planner tasks synced with Calendar and Outlook tasks. http://apps4.pro/

hi Mike Platvoet - it looks like this link no longer works. I've tried this one and the one further up in the feed.
