    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    If you want to get a description of a single task, you could configure the corresponding Planner Task-Trigger to get the task id, and then get the description of the task through Get task details.

    If you want to get a description of all the tasks, you can first use List tasks / List my tasks to get the id of all tasks, then configure Get task details action in Apply_to_each to get a description of each task.

    Please take a try.

     

    Best Regards,

    Hi,

    I have one question / problem regarding task descriptions.

    My flow creats a task in planner -> works fine

    But I also need to create the task description based on my flow (based on a list) into the planner task.

    The result works so far, that the description is desplayed in HTML source but not as simple text.

    Can someone support me?

    Hi @Oliandril,

     

    You can use Html to text to convert the content you need to insert into text.
