Project for the web tasks in To-do app
Hi everyone!
Since uservoice cannot be used anymore, I hope this post will be read by a MSFT product group and take the suggestion in consideration 🙂
MS To-do (and/or Tasks by Planner) slowly but surely becomes the central place for tasks around the product line, but one missing piece of the puzzle which I am sure everyone would love is the ability to see the tasks from Project for the web assigned to me in To-do / Tasks by Planner.
It is great already that Planner tasks are in to-do (for small/agile projects), but when it comes to complex/waterfall this feature is missing.
Does anyone know if this is planned somehow? I could not find anything in MS roadmap...
Thank you.
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.

- This is so important! We need this feature on the roadmap with priorization
Any news here? This is crucial for our adoption story as people are becoming more ans more comfortable with the Planner integration. They try to accomplish everything with Planner instead checking for Project on the web. Not having the integration here lowers the appeal to deal with the tool at all.
- I agree as well...this is crucial. When I go to Settings in the MS ToDo app and scroll down to "Connected Apps" I fully expected to see "Project" as an option. The only two options currently are Planner (tasks assigned to you) and Flagged email. Please let us know if and when Project (tasks assigned to you) will be an option as a Connected App in MS ToDo.
