MS Flows: Planner tasks
Hi, Rui Cabral , what have you got so far?
Give us a screenshot of the logic so far, and then of some of the important steps blown up / expanded (if scoped).
I'm going to try to recreate your situation in the meantime. : - )
EDIT 1 - I meant to add: I've done something similar to this previously, and it shouldn't hurt too much, however you may need to involve a SharePoint list ... can't remember!
Also, stop by the Power Automate Community, I have a feeling this will have been discussed there!
EDIT 2 - Since this is still fresh, I'll edit, lest we end up bumping. Looking more at your use case, I'd say you need to decide which application is going to *drive* the new tasks. Since teams is just a chat application, unless you've got bots running you'll have to literally open SmartSheet to create new items and tasks. (I have not even heard of SS up until this point ... no irritation intended, but why not use a MS solution?)
Since SmartSheet (thus far) is the only place you're seemingly managing workflow, then, I'd just recommend not using Planner at all. Add a tab in any team that requires it to the SmartSheet designation that's required.
If you're running projects, and you wish to have up to date project activity in associated SharePoint sites, though, then, yes, you will just need to work on some logic to mirror basic task details into Planner using the flow connectors. Probably based on "When a new row is created" and "When a sheet is updated" triggers, with more and more complicated actions as you see fit in Planner.
Just remember, the Planner connector is still a bit raw, but it's come a long way even in the last couple of months in terms of functionality. You may need to leverage Microsoft's APIs using premium connectors. Or, work with SharePoint lists and/or the SharePoint connector's "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint" action.
