Create multiple tasks from manual trigger

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 27

Hi there,

 

Somewhat new to power automate but starting to wrap my head around things.

 

I am trying to build a flow to assist with our onboarding checklists.  I want a manual trigger to enter the employee name and commencement date - then want multiple tasks created, assigned to different team members with their responsibilities.  

 

So far I have created the manual trigger to create four parallel tasks being assigned to different people, buckets and labels. 

 

I am getting stuck on a few things:

 

- I want the date of commencement from the trigger to be the due date of the task.  I can't seem to find it as a dynamic expression.

- I want to add different checklist items for each task.  I have done this before on a different flow successfully but its not working for me now.   I think it is linked to the plan id - perhaps because of the parallel actions????

Any help is greatly appreciated.

    @TMR21 ,

     

    Is this what you are trying?

    All input fields should appear in your Dynamic section. If you select the Commence Date field and hover over it, it should give you the expression.
