Getting bucket Name

I have a planner bucket list and based on a create task in a plan, I receive a bucket ID where it has been created.

How can I get the Bucket Name based on the two items

 

* Buckets List Shown as here below:

 

[
  {
    "@odata.etag""W/\"JzEtQnVja2V0QEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBASCc=\"",
    "name""BUCK03",
    "planId""w_4V8-0QJE6Wl_TWKvRmipYAB2MC",
    "orderHint""8586618331113434567P6",
    "id""IRJ08qbj7kOw2tDzThTVgJYAG-Tf"
  },
  {
    "@odata.etag""W/\"JzEtQnVja2V0QEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBASCc=\"",
    "name""BUCK02",
    "planId""w_4V8-0QJE6Wl_TWKvRmipYAB2MC",
    "orderHint""I#",
    "id""x_yNrLZbLEm4v0kniek0X5YAI0qi"
  },
  {
    "@odata.etag""W/\"JzEtQnVja2V0QEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBASCc=\"",
    "name""BUCK01",
    "planId""w_4V8-0QJE6Wl_TWKvRmipYAB2MC",
    "orderHint""[v",
    "id""_WBroQk8R0ah-yiAl1fJfZYAPvUV"
  }
]

 

 

* Based on the create task I get a Value Bucket Id that containce one of those three.

 

How I can match the bucket list to get the name of the bucket?

 

Thanks

Hi @frederikbisback,

 

Do you want to get the name of the bucket to which the task you just created belongs?

You could use Get a task to get the id of the Bucket to which the task belongs.

Use List buckets to get the value of all buckets, including id, name.

Use Condition to determine whether the id value obtained by the Buck id and list buckets obtained by Get a task is equal, get the expected bucket id, and then output the corresponding bucket name.

You could also use variables to save this name.

Thanks, I was just stuck at the last option. It can continue. Thanks.

@v-bacao-msft This solution has normally worked great but sometimes I get an item output without the Bucket Name populated. Have you ever ran into this? 

@v-bacao-msft  You also get Bucket Id directly from the trigger itself.

Maybe it wasn't there when you posted the answer, but with that, you don't have to "Get Task".

@dushyantb the Bucket ID is the generated ID and not the Bucket Display name. What's worse is Flow doesn't handle variables and parallelism well so you'll have to wait for the "for each" loop or risk mixed up data in your output.

@TrevorS you missed my point. I know Bucket ID is not its name, but a unique identifier.

My point is, you dont need to use "Get a Task" to get the Bucket ID. It is included from the trigger itself, so you can use that to compare inside the condition step.

 

i might be missing something, when i try this it gives me the name of the wrong bucket... any idea why?

 

I want to use the output from the condition in an email, but when i select value name for bucket list it will cycle through and use the last one in the email, how can i get only the bucket name from the condition published in the email?

Is there a more efficient way to do this so you don't have to loop through the entire list every time? Maybe creating an array that joins the data together first?

Hi.

You can also use the Data Operation activities to get the Bucket Name for Each Task.

The expression at the end is:

first(body('Filter_array_with_Buckets'))?['Name']

Hi Macie,

Where do you get this "Print Name" operation? I just see compose.

Hello,

This is a Compose activity. I just changed it name. 🙂

Hello, this might be late but when I was doing this and was testing out the result but I always have the result of "false" in the condition. I did a comparison with the "Get Task" and "List Buckets". For Get task the value is stored in Bucket Id and in List Buckets it is stored in Id which when you check it they have the same data. I do not know where the error is. 

Old post but figured I would chime in and say there is an easier way.

Here is a walkthrough I made with pics.

 

Add an action below the trigger called Send an HTTP request (Office365 Groups type)

Click test in the upper right corner to get the JSON output then copy it.

Create another action called Parse JSON 

  • Content – The Body dynamic content of Send an HTTP request
    • @{body(‘Send_an_HTTP_request’)}
  • Schema – Click Generate from sample and paste what you copied earlier and click done

After that you can now select name as a dynamic content option from the output of Parse JSON

hey there im just trying to do something simillar but im not able to make it....

 I just want  to copy all the tasks from a plan in planner to a sharepoint list... I have already used list tasks then create an item in sherepoint so it works...  but the thing is that bucket name doesn´t appear ... i guess is because i didnt select bucket list... when I select both... (bucket and task list)  something happens with apply to each.... so it does an error ... is there any way that you can copy a planner task including the bucket names in a sharepoint list?

 

Thanks a millon

September User Group Success Story: Reading Dynamics 365 & Power Platform User Group

The Reading Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Group is a community-driven initiative that started in September 2022. It has quickly earned recognition for its enthusiastic leadership and resilience in the face of challenges. With a focus on promoting learning and networking among professionals in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform ecosystem, the group has grown steadily and gained a reputation for its commitment to its members!   The group, which had its inaugural event in January 2023 at the Microsoft UK Headquarters in Reading, has since organized three successful gatherings, including a recent social lunch. They maintain a regular schedule of four events per year, each attended by an average of 20-25 enthusiastic participants who enjoy engaging talks and, of course, pizza.   The Reading User Group's presence is primarily spread through LinkedIn and Meetup, with the support of the wider community. This thriving community is managed by a dedicated team consisting of Fraser Dear, Tim Leung, and Andrew Bibby, who serves as the main point of contact for the UK Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Groups.   Andrew Bibby, an active figure in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform community, nominated this group due to his admiration for the Reading UK User Group's efforts. He emphasized their remarkable enthusiasm and success in running the group, noting that they navigated challenges such as finding venues with resilience and smiles on their faces. Despite being a relatively new group with 20-30 members, they have managed to achieve high attendance at their meetings.   The group's journey began when Fraser Dear moved to the Reading area and realized the absence of a user group catering to professionals in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform space. He reached out to Andrew, who provided valuable guidance and support, allowing the Reading User Group to officially join the UK Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Groups community.   One of the group's notable achievements was overcoming the challenge of finding a suitable venue. Initially, their "home" was the Microsoft UK HQ in Reading. However, due to office closures, they had to seek a new location with limited time. Fortunately, a connection with Stephanie Stacey from Microsoft led them to Reading College and its Institute of Technology. The college generously offered them event space and support, forging a mutually beneficial partnership where the group promotes the Institute and encourages its members to support the next generation of IT professionals.   With the dedication of its leadership team, the Reading Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Group is poised to continue growing and thriving! Their story exemplifies the power of community-driven initiatives and the positive impact they can have on professional development and networking in the tech industry. As they move forward with their upcoming events and collaborations with Reading College, the group is likely to remain a valuable resource for professionals in the Reading area and beyond.

September featured user group leader

 Ayonija Shatakshi, a seasoned senior consultant at Improving, Ohio, is a passionate advocate for M365, SharePoint, Power Platform, and Azure, recognizing how they synergize to deliver top-notch solutions. Recently, we asked Ayonija to share her journey as a user group leader, shedding light on her motivations and the benefits she's reaped from her community involvement.      Ayonija embarked on her role as a user group leader in December 2022, driven by a desire to explore how the community leveraged various Power Platform components. When she couldn't find a suitable local group, she decided to create one herself!    Speaking about the impact of the community on her professional and personal growth, Ayonija says, "It's fascinating to witness how everyone navigates the world of Power Platform, dealing with license constraints and keeping up with new features. There's so much to learn from their experiences.:        Her favorite aspect of being a user group leader is the opportunity to network and engage in face-to-face discussions with fellow enthusiasts, fostering deeper connections within the community. Offering advice to budding user group leaders, Ayonija emphasized the importance of communication and consistency, two pillars that sustain any successful community initiative.      When asked why she encourages others to become user group leaders, Ayonija said, "Being part of a user group is one of the best ways to connect with experienced professionals in the same field and glean knowledge from them. If there isn't a local group, consider starting one; you'll soon find like-minded individuals."      Her highlight from the past year as a user group leader was witnessing consistent growth within the group, a testament to the thriving community she has nurtured. Advocating for user group participation, Ayonija stated, "It's the fastest route to learning from the community, gaining insights, and staying updated on industry trends."   Check out her group: Cleveland Power Platform User Group
