Maximum Tasks Readable by Power Automate

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello Power Automate Community.

I want to ask for confirmation regarding the maximum number of Planner's tasks that can be read by Power Automate. So here's my case:

My company has been using Planner for quite a long time. Lately, we've reached around 800 tasks. With overwhelming number, I want to make a Power Automate flow that can read a task with specific criteria, then post it into the Microsoft Teams chat as a daily/weekly routine reminder for that specific criteria. The problem I found is only 400 earliest tasks are screened by the flow. So if I manually check from Planner, there are some older tasks which not included in the reminder. I also found that it even read the completed tasks, hence the process of screening the tasks may be deemed unnecessary from the flow itself.

Picture 2: My test run shows that only 400 tasks were filtered by the flow.

 

My question is:

1. Can Power Automate screen more than 400 tasks here? If it could, does that mean there's a problem with my flow, maybe because I accidentally set a limit?

2. Can we perform a filter directly from the Planner action? Similar to how SharePoint action works, I remember we can set a filter query. That way, I think it can limit the progress criteria easier.

    @SKADITYA88  Could you please try below and see if it helps:

    1) In the List Tasks step, click on the three dots to reveal the options menu
    2) Click Settings

    3) In the Settings menu, select the option Pagination, and then set Threshold to a number greater than the number of items in your plan.

    4) Click Done.

    Thank you for your reply, Ankesh_49. I have tried it but unfortunately, the flow does not save the setting. When I tried to turn the pagination on and set it into 2000, the flow returns the setting into pagination off and the threshold into none. Do I miss other settings?

    Try 800 or 900. 
    Is it shared flow? Are you the creator?

    Ok, I will try other number of threshold. 

    It is a shared flow, and I'm the creator. The other members/connections used are for people whom I need to see and view the flow content.
