Boost Your Microsoft Planner with Dynamic Labels
If you’re using Microsoft Planner, you already know how useful labels can be for organising tasks. But what if those labels could do more than just colour-code your tasks? We've created an innovative solution that turns Microsoft Planner’s static labels into dynamic ones. With our Dynamic Labels solution, you can automatically assign the right team members to tasks based on the label colour. For example: Pink for Marketing? Automatically assigns your marketing team to the task. Grey for Finance? Your Finance team is instantly added. This streamlined process eliminates manual task assignments, making things more efficient and saving you time. Plus, the solution is easy to install. How to Get Started: Download the solution for free. Follow the included step-by-step guide to install. Customise to suit your needs and start automating task assignments. Any questions let me know!

Workflows is usually only available within Microsoft Teams, whilst Power Automate should be available alongside other applications like Power Apps, Power Bi etc. Accessible from the top left menu. Please provide screenshots if you have any problem finding it :).948Views0likes1CommentRe: @Mention someone in a planner comment

Hi Matthew, thanks for the kind words and great ideas. I’ve just posted a brand new version of this solution. It doesn't include the ability to @mention multiple people yet but you’ve motivated to look at that for next redesign. For now, you can access the latest version here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/planner/microsoft-planner-mention-and-comment-notification-in-microsoft-teams---new-vers/4364587546Views0likes0CommentsRe: Planner Comments Notifications Resolved
Hi there, thanks for the kind words. Just released version two which has some major upgrades.

Hi Planner Community, Thank you for the overwhelming support for my original post last year on how to @mention someone within the Microsoft Planner community and have a message automatically emailed to them. I'm excited to share that I've completely redesigned and updated the solution to now support the new Microsoft Teams Planner and remove the issues some users found with setting up the solution. Additionally, the notification is now an adaptive card within the Microsoft Teams chat to the user you @mentioned in the Microsoft Planner comment. Screenshot example above shows a comment posted by me in a Microsoft Planner task where I’ve @mentioned David at the end of the message. Screenshot example above shows the comment posted by me in Planner being automatically sent to David (thanks to the @mention in the comment) on Microsoft Teams. Allowing David to reply in either the traditional Planner or new Teams Planner. Attached is a zip file containing the Microsoft Power Automate solution, along with a detailed walkthrough to help you set it up. Enjoy! If you download the solution, all I ask is that you please give this post a thumbs up. Thanks, everyone!

Developing Lobby, our visitor management Microsoft solution, got us thinking about how to make setup as effortless as possible for businesses and educational institutions. This drive led us to create a smart, automated process for configuring the necessary visitor database using Microsoft Lists. To bypass the extensive manual setup of Microsoft Lists, which involves creating a list, providing a description, creating columns, and formatting them, we developed a Microsoft Power Automate solution to do the job for us. This tool automatically creates the required Microsoft List with the correct description, columns, and column format we required users of Lobby to have—saving time and ensuring accuracy. Typically, before setting up the List for Lobby took 20+ minutes. With our method, it now takes just 5 seconds! How It Works Our solution operates on a manual trigger within Microsoft Power Automate, perfect for this one-time setup process. Here’s a quick overview: Trigger the Process: Initiate the solution manually to avoid duplicating lists. Send HTTP Request: This SharePoint feature allows you to communicate with the desired SharePoint site. Simply specify the site where you want the list stored. Initialize Variables: Automatically gather address details to streamline the process. Create the List: Generate the list with the appropriate title and description, again using a SEND HTTP Request. Parse JSON: Extract necessary details from the HTTP response. Create Columns: Use multiple HTTP requests to add each column with unique names and correct field types. Once ran, you'll have a fully formatted, accurately labeled Microsoft List ready to use. Why This is Useful for You Our solution eliminates the need for lengthy Microsoft List setups, offering numerous benefits for both businesses and educational institutions. Here are a few examples of how it could be adapted and used: Employee Onboarding: Quickly create personalised onboarding lists for new hires, ensuring consistency and saving time. Project Management: Standardise task lists across multiple teams, ensuring everyone follows the same structure. Event Planning: Easily set up and manage guest lists, agendas, and resources for events. Course Tracking: Create uniform course tracking lists for multiple classes, ensuring accurate record-keeping. Our method reduces the time needed from 20+ minutes setting up a Microsoft List to just 5 seconds! Whether you need uniform lists for individual users or a consistent structure for various projects, our solution enhances efficiency and accuracy. Get in Touch Inspired by our solution? Reach out to the No More Bad Mondays team to see how we can support your business, school, college, or university with it. We can customise your Lists to fit your specific needs, including formatting of choices within your columns.
