Create unique task ID and add to task in MS Planner

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Rasmus05 23

Hi. 

 

Im currently trying to setup my MS Planner via Power Automate. 

 

Therefore i need to find out how to make the task get a System Generated Number ( 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004... )

Is there a way for it to count up that way on the Task ID?

 

I've searched on the internet about this. The only thing I could find, was this:

In the "Update a Task" field:

concat(triggerOutputs()?['body/title'],triggerOutputs()?['body/id'])

 

 

But when im using this, i dont get a number, but more like this:

Anyone have some ideas on how to fix this?

 

 

 

 

(Btw im new to Power Automate)

    @Rasmus05 the only idea I have is to use a sharepoint list. Before you create a new task you would create a new list item. You could then use the item ID as your running number in planner.
