Teams - Planner Task Notification Due Date
vperez How are you defining the due date? Planner doesn't have a default, tasks would exist without a date unless you use a formula to add one.
vperez, Flow doesn't have a dynamic field out of the box to populate an Outlook task due date as a Planner task Due date as far as I know. Do you have a fixed time-frame for due dates on tasks? For example, once flagged does every task have a due date 1 week from now? If so you could write a formula in the Flow to insert that date in dynamically with the formula below in the deadline field (this one adds 7 days from today and doesn't set a time):
formatDateTime(addDays(utcnow(),7),'yyyy-MM-dd')If not, and you need to manually assign due dates to each task, it may be better to have another Flow running to trigger on a planner task being modified in your Plan, and if the due date is modified it then send out the notification email to your assignee's?
ChrisElsdonHi Chris, that is exactly what I have been trying to do. I've included a snip of the flow I am working on . You will see that it has parallel branches only because I have to show my workload to upper management and also have the tasks managed with the salespeople I support.
On the right branch, you will see the email notification at the bottom I added which does goes through with the Title of the task however the Due Date does not and I do not understand why the Title goes through but the manually assigned due date does not, it's very frustrating.
vperezwhich step in that right hand flow are you assigning the due date?
