Issue Posting Message with Bucket Name

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a flow where our team can be notified when we need to address a specific participant. I've got it set up to send me a message when there is something due, but I would love to be able to include bucket names in this so we can see what we need to do. My current flow setup is included below as well as the output that's occurring. Right now power automate is sending me notifications for all of the bucket names, not just the bucket where the tasks are located. Is there any way it can just output the bucket name where the task is located? Thanks!

@DamoBird365 One more question for you if you don't mind! I'm now getting this error message and I'm not sure how to fix it. Automate won't let me place 'value' in the from box without reverting to the configuration shown. I'm not sure if this is the issue or something else. This is my first complicated power automate so I appreciate your patience.

The expressions call the output and select by name. My screenshot they have been renamed, yours they have not. So your expressions need updated to compose and select or you rename the compose and select actions to match my screenshots. 👍

Hi @Anonymous

It’s a select action. Just enable text mode by clicking the T icon next to the mapping.

@DamoBird365 Thank you for your response! I'm going to try to create an array for buckets and tasks. I have two follow up questions for you in regards to this set up. First when I try to build the first filter array there is not an available place for MAP. How can I get to this value? The same question will apply for the second filter array as well. How can I create the table you have under Map? Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous

Are you looking for an array of tasks and buckets?

Buckets are stored as ID's. You will need to combine the bucket ID from the task and match it up with the bucket name.

Select:

FROM: outputs('List_buckets')?['body/value']

MAP: concat('"', Item()?['Name'] , '":"', item()?['id'], '"')

Compose:

json(concat('{', join(body('SelectBuckets'), ','), '}'))

You can then create an array of task names and bucket names by called the bucket Name using the ID in the expression as follows:

Bucket: outputs('ComposeBucketsArray')?[item()?['BucketId']]

I also did a video on importing Planner Tasks at the weekend and it includes creating buckets automatically. This might be of interest too https://youtu.be/n3foHWH1XpU

Please consider accepting my answer as a solution if it helps to solve your problem.
