Get task parameter from the "When creating a task" trigger in Power Automate
Hi all,
I have a question about MS Planner.
I would like to create a Power Automate flow to create a task in a plan B when a task in Plan A has the pink flag.
I have some issues because when we create a task, we cannot use a flag on it. So I would like to create a task, upload it to flag and if it's pink, create the same task in another plan.
Unfortunately, when I use the trigger "When creating a task", I cannot get the parameters of this task I just created. Do you have any hint to do what I want?
Thank you
VArik966 Not using "When a new task is created" trigger.
However, you can use scheduled flow which will run once daily (as per your requirements) OR manual flow on button click. This flow will:
- List tasks from specific plan - this will return AppliedCategories (Pink, Red, Yellow, etc.)
- Then you can use "Condition" action to check the category
- If it is pink, you can create a new task
Check documentation link in above response for all available actions using Planner connector.

VArik966 As you are creating a task first and then assigning flag to it, you cannot get the flag details while using "When creating a task" trigger.
Unfortunately, Planner connector does not have "When a task is modified" trigger.
