Microsoft Planner status check-ins
Check in with everyone assigned to a Planner plan, then apply the dates you approve back to Planner. Pairs naturally with sending from Outlook.

Connect Microsoft Planner with your work account, review and send a check-in, and apply approved dates back to the task — only when you click Apply.
How it connects
Click Connect Microsoft Planner, sign in with your work or school Microsoft account, and pick a plan. PingCadence reads its tasks, assignees, start and due dates and % complete. The connection covers basic plans: premium plans aren't available through Microsoft's Planner API yet, so for a premium plan use Export to Excel in Planner and import the file instead (add any missing email addresses under Who gets asked; dates aren't written back from a file). If your organization only lets admins approve new apps, send your IT admin pingcadence.com/it-admins.
What PingCadence reads
Tasks, assignees (names and email addresses), start and due dates, % complete.
Applying date changes
When a task owner proposes new dates, you choose to apply them to Microsoft Planner, edit manually, or reject. Nothing is written back automatically.
