Hi,

I am playing with adding a task in a specific folder for my Canvas app & trying to work out how to get the ID of the specific folder.

At this point just trying to display it in a label.

My attempt so far is

OutlookTasks.GetAllTaskFoldersV2({'$filter': eq (Name,'Test Folder Name')})

but am getting error The function has invalid arguments.

Thanks in advance for any assistance in getting this right.

Todd

Hi @Tango，

Do you want to filter folder name?

If so, I suggest you use the Filter() as below:

Filter(OutlookTasks.GetAllTaskFoldersV2().value,Name="Tasks")

Hi @Tango,

I know that, however, I could not refer to this '$filter' parameter either because the Outlook Tasks connector has been deprecated. It is proposed to use Microsoft To-Do (Business) for business accounts.

For personal accounts please use Microsoft To-Do (Consumer)

The mentioned Filter() formula could get you a complete task folder including task id and some other parameters, you could create a new task in this folder by referring to the id as below:

First(Filter(OutlookTasks.GetAllTaskFoldersV2().value,Name="custom")).Id

Hi @Tango,

No, I haven't tried the new connector, I just modify based on your original formula using the OutlookTasks connector and this formula works as expected.
