Power Automate flow executes message movement. Discussion at aka.ms/Apr27-Demo1

Problem - how to simplify exposing tasks in Outlook. Solution - Power Automate flow that Syncs entries in To Do, Planner and Outlook calendar. Flow evaluates tasks in Planner, To Do and Outlook, eliminates duplicates and adds new/updated tasks into calendar. Tasks are kept in Planner and To Do (source). Comprehensive flow logic walkthrough.
