Is there a work- around for creating a flow that creates a planner task which is triggered only by a specific list item being added to a Sharepoint list?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have tried to make a conditional flow that would send a task to planner from a sharepoint list using an input variable and a conditional statement. Under my dynamic content options, I don't seem to have access to the Sharepoint icon labeled "Send to Planner" like I keep seeing on instructional videos. My list still functions without errors, but because I don't have this, I used the sharepoint label "Action items" is equal to yes and it won't trigger the task to be created (yet the flow still works) if that makes sense.

 

Looking for some type of work around for this option or a way to gain access to the Sharepoint icon in dynamic content labeled "Send to Planner".

 

Thank you so much!

    Something to note about dynamic content labels is that they can be customized to a specific user's environment, lists, and document libraries. Your columns may be named differently or you may not have those columns in your list/document library. If you aren't seeing the same dynamic content on your end, you can either create a column to match (or name it something different).

     

    You can add a Yes/No column to your SP List and name it Send to Planner. Important: Don't forget to set the default value to whatever value suits your requirements.

    In your flow, you can add a Condition action to check if the value of this column is true.
