Understanding the Role of the Default Teamflect Task List

  • As we explained in this article, Teamflect can sync your Teamflect tasks with Microsoft Planner.

  • When Teamflect syncs your tasks, it automatically creates a list called "Your Teamflect tasks" in your Microsoft Planner app under the ''My Plans'' section.

What Happens If You Delete the Default List in Microsoft Planner

  • Deleting this list in Microsoft Planner will break the integration, and the Teamflect tasks created after this point will not be synced to Microsoft Planner.

  • If you want to enable this functionality again, please go to "User settings" by clicking on your profile picture at the upper right of the app.

  • Under "My Settings", you will see the setting for Teamflect-Microsoft integration.

  • Simply turn it off and turn it on again to activate the integration one more time.

After you do this, a new list called ''Your Teamflect Tasks'' will be created again in your Microsoft To Do / Planner application, and you will be able to benefit from the integration.

Use Cases for Managers and Employees

For Managers

  1. Weekly Check-Ins
    Automatically sync recurring check-in tasks from Teamflect to Microsoft Planner, so you never miss updates with your team members.

  2. Goal Tracking
    See assigned goal-related tasks directly in Microsoft Planner โ€” such as reviewing progress or providing feedback.

  3. Performance Reviews
    Receive reminders for tasks like completing review forms or adding calibration notes right in your Microsoft Planner list.


For Employees

  1. Action Items from Meetings
    Automatically capture follow-up tasks created during 1-on-1s or team meetings and track them in Planner.

  2. Development Plans (IDPs)
    View and complete growth-related tasks โ€” like attending a training session or updating career goals โ€” from your synced list.

  3. Goal Milestones
    Stay on top of key deliverables or milestones by viewing your Teamflect goal tasks directly alongside your other action items in Planner.

Best Practice ๐Ÿ’ก

Avoid renaming or deleting the โ€œYour Teamflect tasksโ€ list in Microsoft To Do.
If you want to categorize your tasks differently, create new lists in To Do โ€” Teamflect will keep syncing to its default list without interruption.
