Hi,

I was wondering why my tasks from Planner show up in my ToDo app fine. But in outlook they do not show up.

Please see the My Day in ToDo:

Now in outlook it is like this:

I also Tried the web version:

Would be really useful for this to flow through and I think it should.

    Yes Microsoft! Please pick this up and help us to improve our productivity as you promises for your tools. I really like your concept and the majority of your tools are lifting up work to a higher level. But this lack of connectivity between planning tools is a big gap. When this could be fixed corporation would be much easier and many people would be very thankful I guess.

    Good idea for a work around but unfortunately the the task does not show up in the My Day view in the calendar to do bar (even though it does show up in the To Do app). It seems like Planner tasks will not show up in the web to do bar at all.

    It is a real pity because the work flow of having a centralised place for tasks either added manually, flagged emails, or assigned tasks from Planner, then dragging tasks to the calendar to allocate time to work on them is great. But if you don't have the centralised pool of tasks to draw from, it loses its appeal very fast.

    Still doesn't work so I did a workaround with Microsoft Power Automate.

    First, create a new task list in your To Do app, which you will be showing in the My Day Column in Outlook Calendar (I called mine "My Tasks")

    Go to Power Automate and Create a flow and select "Planner - When a task is assigned to me" as trigger (you will recognize the Microsoft Planner icon).

    As next action search for "To Do" and select (in show more) "Add a to do".

    Choose your To Do List (My Tasks) and set the title as dynamic variable by clicking on the flash icon - Use "Title" from the drop down, which then automatically uses the title of the task.

    You can set how often the flow should check for new items by clicking on the trigger (When a task is assigned to me).

    Save and test your flow.

    Make sure you connected Planner and To Do in the Connections section of Power Automate to allow the apps to talk to each other.

    Hope this helps!
