Configure Microsoft Planner Connectivity for Google Sheets

Connectivity to Microsoft Planner from Google Sheets is made possible through Connect Spreadsheets. To work with Microsoft Planner data from Google Sheets, we start by creating and configuring a Microsoft Planner connection.

1. Log into Connect Spreadsheets, click Connections and click Add Connection
2. Select "Microsoft Planner" from the Add Connection panel
3. Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Microsoft Planner.

   You can connect without setting any connection properties for your user credentials. Below are the minimum connection properties required to connect.

   • InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken.
   • Tenant (optional): Set this if you wish to authenticate to a different tenant than your default. This is required to work with an organization not on your default Tenant.

   When you connect the Driver opens the MS Planner OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the Driver. The Driver then completes the OAuth process.

   1. Extracts the access token from the callback URL and authenticates requests.
   2. Obtains a new access token when the old one expires.
   3. Saves OAuth values in OAuthSettingsLocation to be persisted across connections.
4. Click Create & Test

With the connection configured, you are ready to connect to Microsoft Planner data from Google Sheets.
