Documentation

Typical usage scenario

The Feedback2Planner module is designed for Mendix applications that collect user feedback and automatically create corresponding tasks in Microsoft Planner. A common use case is product or service teams using Mendix apps to gather structured feedback from users and route it directly into their task management workflow via Power Automate.

 

Features and limitations

Features:

  • Automated task creation in Planner using Power Automate flows.
  • Configurable webhook URL for each flow instance.
  • Minimal changes required to existing Mendix feedback pages.

Limitations:

  • Requires manual setup of Power Automate flow and webhook configuration.
  • Only supports one Planner bucket per flow instance.
  • No built-in error handling for failed webhook calls—must be managed in Power Automate.
  • Screenshots submitted via the feedback form are not attached to the Planner task. Instead, they are included as links to the Mendix Insights.

Dependencies

  • Mendix Studio Pro version 10.21.0 or higher.
  • Feedback Module version 4.0.2 or higher.
  • Microsoft Power Automate account with access to Planner.
  • Proper permissions to import and configure flows in Power Automate.

  3. Add the configuration snippet to your Admin page for webhook management.
  4. Make sure to grant all the permissions to the user roles.

  8. Add the webhook URL from Power Automate on the config page and select the feedback mode. 

Configuration 

  • In Power Automate, copy the webhook URL from the trigger of the imported flow.
  • In Mendix, paste this URL into the Admin configuration page of the Feedback2Planner module.
  • Assign appropriate user roles (Admin/User) to control access.
  • Test the integration by submitting feedback and verifying task creation in Planner.

Known bugs
