Update a row on dataverse based on Planner

So, in my organization we have a planner with assigned tasks, I have an automation that when ever a task is created it will make a new row on a dataverse table, I want to run a secondary automate that every few hours will scrub the planner and update the rows on dataverse based on the current status of the tasks.

My issue is that the update row function for dataverse requires the GUID of the row, is there a way to have it look up that information based on the task ID (that is also unique) or how would I go about having to update each row with the new information?

Hi @FGRODRIGUEZ

Like you mentioned for the update you need the GUID (Row Id). This is what you need to do.

1. When you create the record store the Task Id. Look like you already go that info.

2. Use the List rows filter query using the task id to get the GUID of the record which you want to update.

Above under the Filter query I have hardcoded the value. Here replace the dynamic task id.

Thanks

Hey, first of all, thank you for writing an answer, but I seem to be having a problem when implementing it.

The issue is that when I go to the update row, there's no dynamic content for the Dataverse identifier, the apply each that you see at the beginning was applied automaticly by PowerApps when selecting planner TaskId as a dynamic content.

Hi @FGRODRIGUEZ

Apologies there is mistake in my query. You need to set that under Filter Rows. You need to find your column name (TaskId) eq Dynamic Task Id mapping.

eg: TaskId eq 'mapping of TaskId'

To find the GUID you need to look for identifier under the List Rows Dynamic values.

Thanks

Hey, again thank you very much for the help, but I must be doing something wrong, I don't get options to use dataverse dynamic content, could you maybe share a screenshot of what the flow would look like to get a better idea? Thank you

Hi

You still got the filter query wrong. Please see below

See above I am looking for identifier by searching the text and you can see Account (GUID) displayed under the dynamic content.
