Creating a new task in Planner Premium using a PA flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 6
Hi,
 
I am using Planner Premium and I am trying to add a new task using Power Automate. This is the first step in a multi-step plan to create tasks from Outlook and SharePoint.
 
I have been using ChatGPT and CoPilot to build the flow.
 
The first problem I encountered had to do with creating the flow with a non-Dataverse object. After correcting that, I ran into authentication problems left and right as well as the new designer constantly wanting to rewrite my expressions.
 
I switched to the old designer to get more control and I tried to pass a JSON to my next object and 1) the program continued to add " " around the JSON making it a text instead of an array. 
 
 
Somehow, an authentication is inserted automatically causing the error: 
Here is the peek code from BulkCreate: "inputs": { "host": { "connectionName": "shared_commondataserviceforapps", "operationId": "PerformUnboundAction", "apiId": "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_commondataserviceforapps" }, "parameters": { "actionName": "msdyn_PssCreateBulkV1", "item/EntityCollection": "@outputs('Compose_Entities')\n", "item/OperationSetId": "@outputs('PSS_CreateOpSet')?['body/OperationSetId']\n" }, "authentication": { "type": "Raw", "value": "@json(decodeBase64(triggerOutputs().headers['X-MS-APIM-Tokens']))['$ConnectionKey']" } } }
The request has SAS authentication scheme, 'MSAuth1.0' authorization scheme or internal token scheme. Only one scheme should be used. Inputs: { "host": { "connectionReferenceName": "shared_commondataserviceforapps", "operationId": "ListRecords" }, "parameters": { "entityName": "msdyn_projects", "$filter": true, "accept": "application/json;odata.metadata=minimal" } } Outputs: { "statusCode": 400, "headers": { "Cache-Control": "no-cache",
 
WHAT AM I ASKING FOR?
I have spent about 8 hours going back and forth trying new ways based on CoPilot, etc. So, is it possible to insert a blank, new task into Planner Premium at this time or is there something going on with Planner Premium and its migration away from Project for Web?
 
Thanks for your time,
 
Stephen

    I have not gone down the rabbit hole of trying to tackle getting the Planner Premium plans to work with Power Automate, but I believe this information will be helpful if you choose to do so: Microsoft Planner and the revenge of MS Project. It seems there is a workaround, but it is not a simple one. Otherwise, the short answer is that Power Automate actions work with the standard Planner and not Plan 1, 3 or 5 versions.

    Thank you very much. Your reference is exactly what I needed to move this forward.
