Flow email to send link to Planner task

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by AnnetteM

I have a flow that will send an email to the manager of the complaint department when a new Planner task is created. I am able to include the name of the task as well as the Bucket it was dropped within the email body. I would also like to include a link in the email to take the manager directly to the newly created task card. How can this be done?

Hi,
Please use this URL to dynamically construct the link within a flow. You will need to reference your org's tenant.
https://tasks.office.com/yourorgtenant.onmicrosoft.com/Home/Task/7xwgXPo4dkGMvlbL7cLf9mUADD8o?Type=TaskLink&Channel=Link
You can customize the Outlook email body and use an HTML href to do this.
Here's a walkthrough.
Result.
This is the Outlook body syntax:
<a href="@{variables('Tasklinkhead')}@{triggerOutputs()?['body/id']}@{variables('Tasklinkfoot')} "onMouseOver="this.style.color='#CC0022'" onMouseOut="this.style.color='#75757C'" target="_blank" data-toggle="tooltip"
title="Here is a link to this task">Here is a link to this task: @{triggerOutputs()?['body/title']}</a>
<p>
<a href="https://tasks.office.com/atnypa.onmicrosoft.com/Home/Task/@{triggerOutputs()?['body/id']}?Type=TaskLink"
onMouseOver="this.style.color='#CC0022'" onMouseOut="this.style.color='#75757C'" target="_blank"
data-toggle="tooltip" title="Here is another link to this task">Here is another link to this task@{triggerOutputs()?['body/title']}</a>

Hope this helps,
Aman T.

Thanks for this, my use case was slightly different.
I am automating cross linking a task and a List item.
The problem is the same though - no native access to task URL.

Your content here got me off in the right direction thanks 👍

I used a simple concatenate function to stitch together the task URL.
Go to a sample task
Copy the URL of the task
Paste it and only retain the first part of the URL
https://tasks.office.com/YourOrgURL.com/Home/Task/
Create your concat() function as follows and insert the ID of the task from your Dynamic Content:
contcat( 'https://tasks.office.com/YourOrgURL.com/Home/Task/', [TASK ID])
Agree, it should be supported natively but this is a operational workaround till Microsoft catch up with this...

This post helped me so much. How would one alter this flow if the task is assigned to more than one person?
