Objective:

I am trying to build a workflow where a message posted in Microsoft Teams (based on specific keywords) automatically creates a task in Microsoft Planner. The task should include:

The Teams message content in the Title and/or Description

A Start Date and Due Date (when applicable)

Steps Taken:

Trigger: When keywords are mentioned (Microsoft Teams)

Action: Create a task (Planner)

Attempted to map dynamic content from the Teams trigger into the Planner Title and Description fields

Tested using messages posted in Teams chat

Expected Outcome:

When a Teams message contains certain keywords (e.g., “leak” or “unit”), a Planner task should be created that includes the full message content in the task description, along with relevant task details.

Actual Outcome:

The Planner task is being created, but instead of the message content, only the Message ID appears. The message body/details are not populating in the Title or Description fields.

There are no visible runtime errors, but the data is not passing correctly from Teams to Planner.

3. Screenshots

(Screenshots of the trigger configuration, dynamic content selection, and Planner action configuration would be included here.)

4. Configuration Details

Trigger: Microsoft Teams – When keywords are mentioned

Action: Microsoft Planner – Create a task

Attempted to use dynamic content from the trigger (Message Body/Content)

No custom connectors

Basic expressions were tested (e.g., triggerBody()?['body']?['content]

5. Error Messages

No explicit error messages appear. The issue is that only the Message ID is passed into Planner instead of the actual message text.

6. Environment Information

Microsoft 365 environment

Power Automate (Cloud Flow)

Trigger tested in Teams chat

Planner within the same tenants

7. Effort and Research

I have:

Tested removing conditions and simplifying the flow

Verified dynamic content selections

Reviewed Microsoft documentation on Teams triggers

Attempted to use expressions to extract message body content

However, the message content is still not populating — only the Message ID appears in Planner.

If anyone has encountered this issue or has guidance on properly retrieving the Teams message body and passing it to Planner, I would greatly appreciate your assistance.
