Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have a flow setup to post a mesage to Team when a task is created in planner. Can I set this up to also email the user who has had the task assigned to them also bearing in mind this may be one of several users in the team?

 

Basically, can I get the users email address and have flow fill it in for me?

    Hi!

    'When a task is created in planner' is providing you Assigned to User's GUID, right?

    I believe you can use 'Get user's profile V2' action block from 'Office 365 Users Connector', assign as its input the GUID and obtain a bunch of details of this user, also its email address.

    Hope this helps

    So I created a dummy task, assigned to a couple of dummy colleagues. THis is my Flow design:

    THis is the result of executing it:

    Now, I assume you need to send a single email per task, no matter one or more colleagues were assigned to the task. If so, just need to add this step

    I would probably add a 'Condition' action block in between, just to make sure there are at least one assigned to user.

     

    If you are unfamiliar with WDL expressions, please follow these steps to add them:

    Please let us know your progress, if you find any issue implementing this approach do not hesitate to share a screenshot from your flow design and the problem encountered

    Hope this helps
