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.
Please do not shoot the messenger. I am a volunteer in this user forum and I do not work for Microsoft. I know that many of you have been disappointed about a feature that was announced, which Microsoft then seems to have cancelled. I suspect that the new Assigned to Me functionality in Project for the Web is meant to replace displaying Project for the Web tasks in the To Do app. I DO NOT know this for sure, but that is the only way I can explain how the feature was announced, and then seems to have been dropped. We can wait and hope for the functionality you seek, but I suspect it is never coming. Sorry, but hope this helps.
