Updated feature: Planner Notifications for Teams

 

 

	Major update: General Availability rollout started
	Applied to: All customers

 

We’re updating the Planner app for Teams to add notifications. We'll begin rolling this feature out soon. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 45878. [How does this affect me?] After this update takes place, team members who are members of a team with Planner installed will receive a Teams notification when a task is assigned to them by another person. This notification will appear in the Teams Activity Feed and Chat. This update adds a Planner bot to teams where Planner is installed, and audit logs will show the bot as being added by “Microsoft Teams Services” on behalf of the team owner. The only purpose of the bot is to send a notification to a specific user when a task is assigned to him or her by another person, users cannot interact with this bot in any other way. We’ll be gradually rolling this feature starting in February 18, 2019 and we anticipate rollout completion by July 2019. [What do I need to do to prepare for this change?] You don't need to do anything, but may consider updating your user training and notifying your helpdesk.
