Flow to Create Planner Task in Certain Plan Based on the Team Channel

Posted on by Knhmayo

I'm trying to create a flow that will create a task when a message is added to a Teams Channel with "#task". The issue is that I would like for task to be added to the planner associated with that particular Team (ideally by reference so that I can copy this flow easily into other teams). The flow isn't failing, but rather is timing out in the creating task phase. Any ideas??

Hi @Knhmayo ,

When configuring Group id, it seems you need to select Group in the drop-down list instead of filling in Team ID. Group id and Team id don't seem to be the same guid.

I understand that you want to share this Flow with other teams to facilitate their configuration, but since the group is selected from the drop-down list when configuring List plans for a group action, I suggest you configure Create a task action The same needs to be done when

Best Regards,

Hmm--the Team ID works in the List Plans for a Group earlier in the flow. Similarly, that action is defaulted to be a drop down, but you can add a Custom Value. I used the Team ID, and it is accurately listing the plans associated with that Team. So, it seems they are the same for that purpose.

Ok, I actually solved the issue--it was timing out because of the User IDs I was assigning it to, not because of the other Task Fields.

So, good news--the Team ID does work for the Planner Group ID so I'll only have to change the very first items of the flow for a new channel!
