Automation - Planner -> Teams - Task Assignment Notice Issue

Posted on by JCASE

Greetings,

I am running into an issue with a flow that I have created that posts to a designated Teams channel for every new Task in Planner.

The trigger from planner is a new task being created. I want the message in the Teams channel to show:

1. Task Name

2. Due Date

3. Assigned To

The 3rd requirement will not port over correctly. It always shows the assigned to as a string of numbers and letters and not the actual user name. The planner was originally created from the teams channel so all users in both apps are correct. What am I doing wrong? I am new to flows so totally could be a noob thing.

Also if I can get it to tag that user in the Teams channel post that would be a huge plus.

I have the same question (0)

Hi!
So... you got the user guid.
My suggestion is, to add a 'Get user profile' action block, assign user guid as its input.
Hope this helps

Would this solution produce an @ tag? I can @ tag someone via a flow bot post but a V3 message would be preferred for enhanced customization of the message through code.

Hi!

Let's go step by step. Did both@v-bacao-msft and me suggest a proper approach to your first request -the 'Assigned to' issue-? Did you fix it by following our advice?

Thanx!

The Get User option worked best to get the name of the assigned user to a task to display correctly.

Now I want to tag that user BUT I have to post as a flow bot.

So, first issue solved, right? Then we got some sort of Happy ending!

Some sort? Well, I believe tagging is not currently supported in Teams "post message" action block unless you post it as flow bot. Let's hope I am wrong and somebody else can point us to the right direction.

Thanx!
