Microsoft Planner
Add Microsoft Planner to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a Microsoft Planner integration so work created in your product lands in the plan a customer's team already works from, usually alongside the Teams channel they live in. Plans are organised into buckets with their own naming, progress states and assignees, so bucket and status mapping is per-tenant configuration. fastn handles per-customer OAuth, token refresh, rate limits and API upkeep, and delivers task changes as events so a task closed in Planner can drive the next step in your product.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers connect their own tenant so your product creates Planner tasks in the plan and bucket they choose.
Assign tasks, set due dates and update progress from events in your product.
Read a plan's buckets and members so your product routes work to the right place per customer.
Trigger your product when a task is completed or moved, instead of polling the plan.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent reads a plan and reports what is overdue or unassigned.
An agent creates or updates a task within governed permissions, with each change audited.
An agent reacts to a completed task and starts the follow-up work.
Example prompt
Create tasks in the onboarding plan for each open step, assign them by role and set due dates a week apart.
Set up Microsoft Planner in 4 steps
- 01Open the Microsoft Planner connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authenticate their own Microsoft 365 account with the task scopes your product needs.
- 03Map the plans, buckets and fields your product uses, then enable actions and triggers.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the Microsoft Planner integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Microsoft Planner integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Microsoft Planner account inside your product and work their work items, assignees and due dates there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: every team configures its own fields, statuses and workflow stages. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Microsoft Planner update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Microsoft Planner connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep work items in step with what happens in your product without wiring it twice.

AWS Simple Storage ServiceMicrosoft Planner integration FAQ
How do I add a Microsoft Planner integration to my product?
Enable the Microsoft Planner connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Microsoft Planner account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Microsoft Planner client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Microsoft Planner account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Microsoft Planner account and only ever sees their own work items, assignees and due dates. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Microsoft Planner integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent reads a plan and reports what is overdue or unassigned.
Who maintains the Microsoft Planner integration?
fastn does. When Microsoft Planner changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Can my product create and update work in Microsoft Planner automatically?
Yes. Items can be created, updated, assigned and transitioned from your product, and changes made in Microsoft Planner can trigger your workflows in return.
Does it adapt to each team's own Microsoft Planner setup?
Yes. However a team has configured Microsoft Planner, whether that is custom fields, statuses and workflow stages or its own calendars and working hours, those are mapped per customer, so an unusual setup works without custom code from you.
What can I build with the Microsoft Planner integration?
A common starting point: connect their own tenant so your product creates Planner tasks in the plan and bucket they choose. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Microsoft Planner integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Microsoft Planner does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
