Use Power Automate to create a Planner task whenever an item is added to a SharePoint list

My newest video demonstrates how you can create a task in Planner whenever an item is added to a SharePoint list. In my example, I’m assigning Planner tasks whenever a new IT Support Request comes in.

For this to work, you’ll need:

• A SharePoint list
• A Planner plan for your team to share

How to automate Planner task creation based on SharePoint list additions

1. Prepare your SharePoint list (any columns you’re tracking)
2. Prepare your Planner plan (set up buckets, labels, etc. as you wish)
3. Create the Power Automate flow following steps in my video.
   • Type and trigger: Automated when an item is created (SharePoint)
   • Second/last step: Create a task (Planner)
     • Expression used to set due date a week after creation: addDays(triggerOutputs()?[‘body/Created’],7)
