Integrate Planner in existing Powerapps

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by auracarp

Hi all,

I have created an app and I would like to add a Planner to the Powerapp, I want the information I entered into the app to create a Task into the Planner (but only if a certain field is filled out or a button clicked - don't mind which option). Is this possible?

I have seen the video for integrating the Planner with Powerapps, but that is based on creating a brand new app, which I really don't want to start all over again as the app is quite complex and complicated.

Thank you

Aura

Hi @auracarp,

You can consider using an Iframe component to play the planner insider the Power App: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Webinars-and-Video-Gallery/Power-Apps-iFrame-Component/td-p/765847

Unfortunately I work off a company computer and they have limited the download of external apps/files, so I need to find a solution that doesn't involve a download.

Hi @auracarp ,

Then consider starting with the QuickTask sample template.

If you go to make.powerapps.com, then click Create and then under Start from template, select the QuickTask template:

A deep dive video on this template is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c2NMT74xUA

Thanks for the suggestion, I did see this...but I am trying to integrate the planner with an existing app, not create a new one. The app I have created it's really complicated and complex with a lot of formulas and option, and will take me a long time to start it all over again. But if that's the only option I might have to do that in the end 🙂

Hi @auracarp ,

What you may do is to copy (parts of) that template app into your existing app. Like that you don't have to manually re-create the functionality, but you can re-use something that is already available to you.

It's not resolved, still haven't found a solution for this. Not sure copying parts of the template works in this scenario.

If you don’t mind setting up something a little different for the Planner piece, then you could use the Boards view in a SharePoint list, which looks like a planner board. Then you could access all the items through a Power Apps SharePoint connection.

Example template using a Boards view: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Cookbook/Project-Tracker-SharePoint-and-Teams/td-p/1788102

I considered this, but it's too complicated for what I am trying to achieve.
I just want a simple way to share the entry we added in my app to a planner. The issue I have is that I will not be the only person using the app, there will be a lot of different departments and people using it, and can't really use any of the options mentioned above as these seem to be linked to my own personal mailbox.
