Setting Up Email Notifications in Microsoft Planner with Power Automate

[HamidBee]

Hi All,

I'm currently using Microsoft Planner at work for task management. However, I've encountered an issue where my manager does not receive an email notification when I complete a task. I was wondering if it's possible to set up such notifications using Power Automate. Specifically, I'm looking to automate a process where an email is sent to my manager immediately after I complete a task in Planner. Does anyone have experience with setting up this kind of workflow in Power Automate? Any guidance or steps on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @HamidBee,

you can do that by following these steps:

1. Create a new flow:
   Go to Power Automate, select "Create," and choose "Automated cloud flow." Title your flow, like "Send email when Planner task completed."

2. Choose your flow’s trigger:
   Select "Planner: When a task is completed" as the trigger for your flow.

3. Select the Group and Plan:
   Specify the Group and Plan for which you’re creating the flow.

4. Add a new step:
   Click "New step" to add an action to your flow.

5. Send an email notification:
   Add a condition between 'When a Task is completed' and 'Send an email notification.' This condition can be based on specific criteria, such as sending an email when a Planner task of a certain category is marked as completed.
