With the ability to create a task directly from a message in Teams, you can capture that important thought, to do item, or comment before it slips away. Convert any message into a task with the click of a button, and without the need for an additional app.
Creating a task
-
Hover over any message in a Teams conversation, select the ellipses (…), select More actions, and then choose Create Planner task.
-
Fill in the details of your task and modify the options to meet your needs. The Create in selection determines where the task is placed.
-
If you choose Private Tasks, the task will be added to Private tasks in the Planner app in Teams. You can edit the task name, priority, due date, and notes from the window.
-
If you choose a plan name, the task will be added to the plan in the Planner app in Teams. You can edit the task name, priority, due date, notes, progress, bucket, and assign the task from the window. You can also choose to post a reply in a chat conversation about the task so others can see it too.
