Posted on by manojkulkarni

Hi Friends

I am trying to create the tasks in planner using lists from sharepoint ? Do we have any template available in community ?

Task will not be created for the list items, it will be decided on the flag present in list (isTask). This flow should run once in a week and check what is newly added only those should be added to task.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @manojkulkarni ,

Is the 'isTask' column a single-select column?

When the item's 'isTask' column is yes, create a task in Planner?

@v-yetonggu-msft , yes you are correct. It's single value drop down. Task will be created only when this dropdown has "Yes" and also it should have one more check to filter only those items from list

Hi @manojkulkarni ,

I did a test for your reference.

In my scenario:

In the Filter Query of Get items, set the 'isTask' column equal to 'Yes' and 'Created' greater than or equal to seven days ago, so that you can get information about newly created item within this week.

isTask eq 'Yes' and Created ge '@{addDays(utcNow(),-7)}'

Hi @v-yetonggu-msft , seems this should work for the use case i am looking.

I am trying the same code, but not getting the fields in Filter Query to apply condition and proceed further. What could be the reason ?
I am new to this platform.

Hi @manojkulkarni ,

Could you please post a screenshot of your SharePoint list?
