Linking "Group" emails from Planner to Teams

Copper Contributor

Hello all,

We have recently started to use MS planner in addition to our normal workflow with Teams.

We have quickly noticed however that there seems to be no easy way to get the task comments from planner to show up on the teams conversation page.

All comments are sent to a "Group" email box in exchange. I tried to create a rule in Flow to automatically forward those messages to the Teams page, but Flow does not have access to to the Groups inboxes.

 

Does anyone know a work around to get the comments from Planner (Which is already linked to Teams) to show up in Teams?
It seems rather odd to me that MS choose to have "conversations" in planner as an Outlook extension rather than a collaboration tool like Teams.

Comments from tasks go here.

Cannot get them here, where we do our work.

Yeah! It would be great to have a trigger for O365 groups in Flow!

Its under review on uservoice:
