HR is a good example here: if the HR Manager/lead is mentioned in a company HR channel there is usually a HR issue that anyone from the team could answer – not just that mentioned person. If you haven’t used ToDo it is a good time for that.Īlternatively you can point tasks to a specific planner( tasks) bucket – this is useful especially if you have a team of people who could help you – so the task would be visible to everyone.
Create a To Do task out of that automatically. Let’s create a Power Automate that is defined to a specific team+channel and triggers when you are mentioned. Ask your Teams champions to help you set this up. What is done here is not complex, but for a busy person it might be too much. Second: This involved a bit of citizen development / power user attitude. Those most critical ones that cause you bad sleep for missing tasks (and money loss for the company). My advice: pick those channels that you know are most used for requests that you have to take of. This of course limits where you can use this. But first, we have to understand there are some limits with Power Automate triggers.įirst: You have to specify a team and channel for each “I am mentioned” trigger. and we can use that to create a task into your bucked. Of course we are doing this with Power Automate! There is a amazing capability that allows a Flow to trigger on when you are mentioned. Yes, there are lots of people who can use this. Project office coordinators, HR manager, Communication managers, Business managers / leads, marketing, support experts etc. This idea is meant for those busy people who feel they are overwhelmed by atmentions and are living on the edge if they miss something important that people expect them to manage. Let’s make it more proper and collaborative and start adding atmentions as tasks automatically! Or Tasks (Planner is going to be in Tasks app this summer!). 🙄 For those who know me – I don’t agree because it hides information to chats or emails and they are not supposed to be your task management tool. 
I have heard people use different means for that: don’t atmention me for these – instead you have to use email or private chat. Of course some of that can be taken care of by making Teams your own ( Check out my session at virtual Microsoft 365 Saturday Madrid to get Teams back to your control and get more benefits from it) but it leaves one more issue: how stay on track when you are being atmentioned everywhere and mentions in specific channels require that you do something about it? I have heard the story several times: too much teams, too much channels, too much notifications and especially: too much atmentions.
