Create checklist when task changes from bucket

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Good afternoon,

 

I want to know how to create an automation to create a checklist once a task is changed of bucket.

 

I work with processes that require different checklists when they go through certain buckets, but the same checklists are always repeated, so it would be very useful to set up a checklist template when a task is shifted from bucket.

 

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    @edmar_nyc I don't think that can be done, there are only 3 triggers in Power Automate as shown below.

    Also there is no action for creating checklist. So this can't be achieved using Power Automate.

    This answer is not entirely true.

     

    While there is no trigger for when a Task is updated, there is definitely an action to add check items via "Update task details".

     

    In the image attached, you can see a Flow for adding automatically Check items to a Task when it is created.

    Also, on a separate post, a user achieved what the OP is asking by recurrently checking the Task details for what Bucket it is in every 10 min, then triggering an action depending on the Bucket: https://lazyadmin.nl/office-365/trigger-flow-when-moving-a-task-in-planner-between-buckets/ -- convoluted, but works.
