Hi Everyone!

Does anyone have a flow/Planner template they can share with me to acheive the following?

EVery day at 9am, I want Flow to send my team an HTML table of all the outstanding tasks with:

1. Task Title

2. Due Date

3. Assigned to

4. Task Description

I have tried a few of the templates already available at flow.microsoft.com, but couldn't get what I need. Of course, I tried editing those templates myself to fit my needs and still couldn't reach my objective.

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please try the following method to configure Flow. You could configure Flow based on Template-Send a digest email of all outstanding Planner tasks.

Set Recurrence to trigger Flow at nine o'clock every day.

Delete Filter array and Select action and add the following configuration.

Initialize two variables, one to store AssignedTo and one to store the contents of HtmlTable.

Iterate through all the tasks and use Condition to filter out the unfinished tasks.

Traverse value assignments and append the user display name to the variable.

Use Get task details to get the description and append the relevant properties to the table. Note that AssignedTo variable needs to be cleared each time.

Please take a try.

Thanks for providing this example, it's really helpful. However, when I try to implement the same flow. I get the following error:

BadRequest. The property 'columns' must be specified unless the 'from' property value is an array of objects

The above error is encountered when running "Create HTML table".

Thanks
