It looks like this is coming:
“We’re in the process of finalizing designs for a Planner add-in for Outlook. From the add-in, users will be able to create tasks for Planner without having to leave their inbox.

We appreciate your feedback and patience and look forward to this first step in what we hope to be a greater integration with Outlook!”

Has any one from Microsoft development made any reply to this? I can't believe that Planner and O365 don't have proper integration... I can raise a task from within O365 Web but not a Planner Task so have to keep switching from one app to another.
