Forms to Planner: Assign task to user(s) based on form response(s)

Hi,

I have a Microsoft Form configured to feed responses into Microsoft Planner, using Power Automate. This automatically creates a task in Planner and assigns it to a user.

However, I want the task to be assigned to users based on the answers provided in the form.

For example:

  • If form answer = yes, assign task to user Bob
  • If form answer = no, assign task to user Dan

Is this possible using Power Automate? Thanks.

    You would use a switch control.

    How would you apply this to multiple questions or questions with more than two responses?  Say I wanted to assign the Planner task out to a location based team.  Form has a drop down with 6 options:  North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia.  Each continent needs to be assigned to a different user.  Can I modify the two user scenario solution you shared to make this work?

    Hello @Anonymous 

     

    Yes of course, here is a POC:

     

    First Initialize a String Variable,

    Next add a Condition, put in your MS forms Question on the left, is equal to, Yes

    Now on the If yes, add a 'Set Variable' action and put in the Email you want to assign to if the answer is Yes.

    Do the same thing in the If no block, Set that variable to the Email you want to assign is the question is No.

    Now you can use the Variable dynamic content inside your Planner action to assign the task.
