Planner Notification for Task Assignment
I was wondering why in the GCC Planner app the option to receive a notification (email, Teams, mobile push) when "someone assigns a task to me" is not available? And when might we expect to see that feature arrive? It would be really nice to have this capability as I'm managing many projects in Planner, but I have to manually notify people when I assign them a task. Thanks.

HIAdam Osterrieder - we're seeing it available in the GCC Planner now, but it doesn't actually send any notifications. We've had to manually build them with Power Automate. Curious if anyone in this community can shed some light. I don't see any reference to it on the roadmap.
Kelly_Edinger Can you elaborate on how you're using Power Automate for this? Is it through Teams? Or the Planner web app?
- Hi scoleman89- from Power Automate, create a new Flow where the trigger is 'when a task is assigned to me' and add an action for Outlook to send an email.
Kelly_Edinger I can confirm that I have the checkboxes but that they don't work.
- *following - several users have asked me about this same thing. PMs looking to use Planner (instead of Trello) want to be able to notify others when a task is assigned.
