Posted on by CU22070719-0

I'm building a Power Automate flow that loops through Microsoft Planner tasks and:

Emails the assigned user if the task is due tomorrow
Emails the Manager if the task is 2 days overdue

The issue:

I'm stuck at extracting the assigned user ID from the assignments field.
I'm using a step called ExtractAssignedUserId, but it fails with:

What I need:

Correct way to extract assigned user ID/email from the task
Help structuring the conditionals (due tomorrow or 2 days overdue)
General review of the logic in the screenshot

Here's a sample flow that will accomplish your goal:

In the Condition, I'm comparing these two values:

formatdatetime(items('Apply_to_each_2')?['dueDateTime'],'yyyy-MM-dd')

adddays(formatdatetime(utcnow(),'yyyy-MM-dd'),1)

And in the Get User Profile I'm using:

item()['userId']

This flow works when tested. If this resolves your issue, please mark it as the answer.

HI @CU22070719-0

Please open the actions themselves, share the inputs and outputs from the run, as well as the configuration details not in run time.

Need to see what you put in there, and need to see what it actually tried to do.
