Delete Planner task when Sharepoint Element is deleted

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello,

 

currently I'm trying to create a flow that deletes a planner task when a sharepoint element (in lists) is deleted. In the planner board there are always tasks created when tasks in the list are created. That works fine.

 

My problem is to detect the right planner task to delete when the lists item is deleted. I already implemented an update of the lists element (when created the ID of the new created planner task is inserted in a column of the list) hoping to access this column while deleting the lists item to get the right task ID. But when the trigger is started I don't have access anymore to the columns data. Is there a better option to solve this?

 

My next idea would be to not delete the elements myself but to mark them for deletion and create a flow that deletes the marked items e. g. at midnight. In the time before the planner task could be deleted, too.

    Hi @klaus-campus02,

     

    sorry for the late response. I implemented a solution similar to the idea I already wrote in the original post: At first I change the status of the list item to "to be deleted". This triggers a flow that starts everytime an item in the list is changed, where it recognizes the new status with the deletion request. The flow waits for 15 minutes and checks the status again, to make sure you can change the status back if it was not on purpose. If the status is the same after 15 minutes, it deletes the list item and the planner card related to it.
