Using Power Automate to notify MULTIPLE assignees of a MS Planner Task in MS Teams

Posted on by CarlosBell

Hello,

I created a Power Automate that will notify you in Teams when a MS Planner Task has been assigned to you. It works great when the Task is only assigned to one person, the issue is when a Task is assigned to multiple people, the Teams @Notification only notifies the initial person assigned to the Task.

I would like to update my flow so that it will notify everyone who is assigned the Task. By the way, the notification occurs via a post in a Channel. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've included screen grabs of my current flow. Thanks!

Thank you, that did work. The only thing is that when I tested it, it create a separate post in MS Teams for each assignee. To keep the conversation of the particular topic in one post, ideally, I would need for both assignees to be notified in one post.
For example:
"Will Smith" & "Elizabeth Jane" - A new Task was assigned to you:
"Title of Task"

Thank you @ScottShearer that worked perfectly!

Out of curiosity, would you recommend using a function to set the value to "null" when first initializing the variable?
