Project for the web tasks in To-do app
- Aug 29, 2022
Nico Although this is not a feature, it is quite simple to do using 2 flows in PowerAutomate... I have developed just this. First flow creates a task on the Assigned To in P4W. Second flow monitors the Task GUID for changes in ToDo / Tasks and updates P4W tasks when changes are made outside of P4W.
Another option is to trigger and email to the user assigned the task and then use PA to flag the email if the subject contains... auto putting the task in ToDo etc
Or us adaptive cards to make an interactive email or Teams post to a channel so you still have access through the day to day toolset.
All the PA flows use the Project and Projects Tasks tables in Dataverse which is where the P4W data lives.
Loads of options if MS don't implement this, although would be far better if it was part of the standard offering, I agree.
Hope this helps.
Don't hold your breath waiting for this functionality in Project for the Web (what you describe as the Project app). I see nothing on the development Roadmap for this tool that reveals Microsoft will integrate Project for the Web with the To-Do app. Sorry, but hope this helps.

Dale_HowardMVP this is one of the reason I am seeing my customer move away from using Microsoft project management solutions

Dale_HowardMVP you mean the public roadmap (Microsoft 365-Roadmap – Microsoft 365-Update | Microsoft 365) or do you have insider knowledge on internal roadmaps?
