Planner with Flow - issues with Group Id and Plan Id

I try to use Flows to create a list of Planner tasks. When I use a predefined template (i.e. "Post messages to Microsoft Teams when a new task is created in Planner"), I can select the Plan Id in...

Ethan_Zhang the GroupID can be seen as the 'owner' field if you make a graph call to get the Planner plan with the PlanID - so a call to Graph like https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/planner/plans/<plan id here> will return:

{

"@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#planner/plans/$entity",

"@odata.etag": "xxxxxx"",

"createdDateTime": "2019-06-04T16:19:22.4969055Z",

"owner": "14a58c41-3979-4057-babd-cc3f69b01d8b",

"title": "Ready2019",

And 14a58c41-3979-4057-babd-cc3f69b01d8b is the GroupId

I hope that helps. Requesting in the UserVoice for Power Automate may get the options fixed in Flow - but hopefully this workaround may help for now.

Brian-Smith Thanks for your kindly help! Although, I don't know how to make a graph call, could you share some useful reference link so that I can do some research for it? Very appreciate it!

Ethan_Zhang no problem, and plenty of resources at https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph and an easy way to see how the calls work at https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer. To make the call from Power Automate does need some setup, as it is protected by needing to pass in a ClientID - this article does a walk through explaining this part https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/calling-graph-api-from-power-automate-flow/. Hopefully that will help you get what you need from your Flow.
Best regards,
Brian
