Forms, Flows, and Planner

[Chase_Walters]

My team is trying to consolidate a number of standard forms we created that we are using to post tasks to a MS Planner hub. The Form we are using has the same questions on it, but to allow the Form data to post to unique MS Planner hubs, we needed to create different Form names to uniquely tie it to a MS Planner hub via a MS Flow.

My question: Is there a way to have one unique Form and one unique Flow that we could use that still allows a task to be created to a unique MS Planner hub?

Hi @Chase_Walters 

In the consolidated form, ask the Group Name(choice field - also append group id in there) from the users when requesting task creation through the MS Form

Then in MS Flow, read the value of group selected, get the group id 

then use get plans for group action to list the plans (to get the plan id)

and then go ahead and create your task

Hi @Chase_Walters ,

You could consider creating a SharePoint list to record the correspondence between Forms Id and Planner plan id/group id.

Assuming all the tasks are created in the default To do bucket, you could refer to the following method to configure Flow.

In addition, all FormId and Plan id can be found in the address bar.
