Copy Planner Tasks into Sharepoint List(Create and update)

Hi @thomashu1987,

Would it be possible for you to share your flow in more details?

Either exporting it or more screenshots?

Hi, I had the same though as you did before, and still researching on solutions.

However, Thanks to Youtube video posted by Christine Payton, I did managed to create following scheduled cloudflow to backup my planner data into a JSON file on daily basis. I posted the youtube link here for your reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7bkWpVczz0&t=930s

And, here's how the flow looks like:

Hi Barry,

I am trying to update a SharePoint person column on completion of the planner task with who the task was assigned to. I followed the directions above, but it doesn't seem to work - are you able to provide some updated advice as i notice this was from a couple of years ago

Hi @Anonymous ,

I am afraid that we could not export tasks automatically by Power Automate.

Hi @Anonymous ,

I think you do not need to use Flow to update task details, you only need to export the task to Excel directly again.

@v-bacao-msft

Thanks for your reply, I agreed with the Excel approach,

is there any chance to have the Flow do that:
Update the excel and the information's inside
create, update and delete rows and cells
Kind Regards

Hi @Anonymous ,

If so, I think the Export plan to Excel is the best option since you could use the data as the Data source to create the Power BI report.

Use format as table to format the data in the Excel sheet.

You can replace the exported Excel file in OneDrive regularly, and then the data can be refreshed regularly.

I think the above option is more suitable for your needs.

In addition, if you want to get Assigned to and Bucket name, please refer to the method below.

If you want to get Description, please use Get task details action and currently we cannot get Priority.

Anf this is the completed Time:

Hi @v-bacao-msft
Thanks for you support, partially working,

the challenge is when task is created not all the tasks details pulled in, for example:
some fields cannot get the details for it, Asignee ( whom task assigned to), Bucket, Description, Priority
Completion date isn't shown on the SP list when task is completed
Tasks before creating the Flows not transfers into the SharePoint list
