Would you mind giving us a few more details about how you envision the steps template working? Knowing the use-cases would be helpful for us in discussing the feature with the team. Thanks!

Keturah Cummings - I've noticed that Steps are not accessible on the Graph API and thus also not in Power Automate - the templating for new tasks could be easily achieved through Power Automate, with the added flexibility of being able to use it for many other use cases. I.e. I'm pulling in tasks from multiple sources every day (projects I'm working on from different tools: Jira, Confluence, daily recurring but dynamic task lists, Quire, Unanswered E-Mails from last Day) to create my personal list for the day.

While we're at it: Being able to add tasks directly to "Today" through Power Automate would be amazing too, e.g. set a Flag on Add To-Do (V3).

And in the vague hope that it's the same team responsible: Being able to filter if an E-Mail is in "focused" or not through Power Automate would be amazing too. (It's in Graph API as InferenceClassification accessible through $filter, but $filter is not exposed only $search in Get Email (v4)) - Thanks 🙂
