If you have configured and connected this first event trigger, the following would be to define the next step.įor this step, I’ve specifically chosen the “Add To-Do”. These are the most important values, but if you require even more granular approach or other things the Advanced Options might help with that. The “Assigned To” field is the field where you have to enter your (Azure DevOps) identity. Note that this trigger is till in Preview, meaning that might be some kinks and issues with it. After that, it should be able to see the projects and specifically the Azure DevOps team you’re a member off. The account name is the connection where your tenants Azure DevOps instances is hosted, it’s possible you get notified to authenticate to your Azure DevOps instances before you can select the Account. First you would have to specify the Azure DevOps account, Project and team: note that you could be part of multiple of them, so choose the correct one in order to get the correct work items. You might have to search and scroll for the correct trigger, in this case I’ve choose “Azure DevOps – When a work item is assigned”: The trigger is the event the Flow watches for to be true and if so, perform the action(s) you have defined: There is a template for this scenario, but I like to break this down so in this case we will use “+ Automated – from blank”:Ī new screen popups in which you can name the Flow and search for the first trigger. Creating and configuring the Flowįirst, go to or via the waffle menu within you Office 365 browser session. Obviously there are more ways and variations possible, but for that you might have to dig deeper into Flow. The benefit of having one aggregated list with all my tasks is greater than that downside. Unfortunately (currently) no synchronization between the two objects, but I can live with. I used Microsoft Flow in order to copy any newly assigned DevOps task to the To-Do list. So, I want an automatic way to get those DevOps objects into my To-Do list. Unfortunately Azure DevOps Work Items are not shown in To-Do app as of today. I like to minimize places I have to monitor and that includes looking at several places for assigned tasks. And more recently Planner tasks can show up in the To-Do app. It even copies most content of the mail and flag status (Complete etc.), both will show the same status. Since a few weeks, you can have Flagged Mails from your Exchange account added as an To-Do task.

However, I also use mail as a sort of To-Do list. Recently I’ve been working more with Azure DevOps within our team we do our capacity planning and tasks (Work Items) in sprints.
