When trying to capture the event, when a task's status changes to "In Progress" in Planner, Power Automate doesn't have a built-in trigger for this specific status change.
However, you can work around this limitation by using a scheduled flow to periodically check the status of tasks and send an email when the status changes to "In Progress."
Here’s a high-level approach to achieve this:
Set up a Recurrence Trigger: Create a flow with a recurrence trigger to run at regular intervals (e.g., every 10 minutes or as needed).
List Tasks in Planner: Use the "List tasks" action to retrieve all tasks from the relevant Planner plan.
Filter Tasks: Add a condition to filter tasks where the status is "In Progress" and ensure you only process tasks that haven't already triggered an email.
Send Email: For tasks that meet the criteria, use the "Send an email" action to notify the desired users.
Update Task or Track Status: Optionally, update the task or maintain a record to avoid sending duplicate emails for the same task.
This approach ensures that you can monitor status changes and take action accordingly.
