Links in Teams message body to Planner description?

Posted on by Kip_OnMSFT

We're a news and info blog/website using Teams and Planner for story ideas workflow.

Many of our story ideas come from Feedly, and there is a Feedly Connector to create a post in a Teams Channel when marked as "Save for Later" (but unfortunately not a direct Feedly>Planner connector, so I'm using a dedicated Teams Channel as a middleman). But now I want to create a Planner card with the subject/title but also a link to the original post in the card description, which is contained in the Teams post.

The link from Feedly to Teams persists, but not figuring out how to get it to Planner.

Still digging but I can only add a subject with the basic Planner flow, I need to add the body of the Teams post (with links) to the Planner card. Can I do that?

Hi @Kip_OnMSFT,

Are you using the When a new channel message is added trigger action?

If so, you could use the message body content field in a Update task details action.

Below is an example

I use the HTML in my description field. You could also use a convert HTML to text action first to change it into text. If you want place that action just before the update task details action.

Thanks, I tried that just now, but the message body content (or Body Content, or Message Link or etc) all show up as plain text.
One note, I see in your screenshot that Message body content type has been set to Content - mine is not and I do not know how to set it, nothing I click offers any options.
As you can see by the attached screenshots, the message body in Teams is showing as HTML with actionable urls (what I'm after), but when set to Message body content they still show up as plain text.
