How to create a flow that is triggered when a task is created in Planner across any group and plan?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello Community,  

I need to execute some actions when a task is created in Planner despite the Group or Plan, meaning it needs to trigger for all tasks created in Planner, 

I see in the trigger if forces me to provide a group or Plan, and I need to be trigger  when a task is created in any group or plan, not an specific one, 

 

Of course, it is not viable to create a flow for every plan that is created

could you please help me to achieve this?

Your help is highly appreciated.

    @dcastle Unfortunately I think your options are limited to what's available in Power Automate. For the automated Planner triggers, there are currently only three options available.

    The When a task is assigned to me trigger doesn't require you to specify the Group or Plan. Consider using this trigger.

    How to Email Attachments 🖇 to Your Planner Tasks

     

    When you add attachments to a Planner task from your computer, the files are automatically saved in the Documents document library of the SharePoint site associated with the M365 Group of your plan.

     

    Instead of downloading email attachments to OneDrive or SharePoint just so you can add them to a Planner Task—automate it. In this Microsoft Power Automate Tutorial—I’m going to show you how build a flow that will take your email attachments and add them to a Planner task. All you need to do is copy a link to a task, forward the email to yourself and the attachments will be saved onto SharePoint and attached to your planner task.
