How do I use flow together with MS Teams Channel and MS Planner

Hi all, is there a possibility to send an email to a Teams channel and create a task in a specific planner? I use the email of the channel but it does not trigger any action. I can also see the Ema...

Hi Sebastian1310 

 

Hmmm if that isn't working for you, you could try something different (I haven't tested this yet but it might give you some ideas):

 

1. Trigger: Use Microsoft Teams > When a new channel message is added (set it to the channel you want).

 

2. Actions: Use Teams > Get messages to retrieve the new message. 

 

3. Use a Condition where Message Type is equal to Email (or something like that, you may need to play with it).

 

 

Hope that helps in some way!

 

Cheers

Damien

    Hi Damien_Rosario,

    thanks for your answer i have seen this template as well but the problem will be that for every message the planner will create a task. However i will test this solution as well, otherwise the colleagues have to use keywords :)

      Hi Sebastian1310 

       

      Not if the condition isn't met. The condition is only looking for Email type. If it's just a regular message or reply, it should not trigger the condition.

       

      So if Yes (email message), create a new task.

       

      If No (not an email), can be blank.

       

      Please let me know how you go? I'd be interested to hear if it fits for you.

       

      Cheers

      Damien
