How can we make Planner better?

Email notifications for Guest users

Guest users should be notified by e-mail for any new assignments, due dates and late tasks. At the moment, only Members and Owners receive reminders for assigned tasks.


  1. When a task is assigned to a guest, they should receive an e-mail with the information sent to their e-mail address outside of the Office 365 tenant.


  2. Reminders sent to the guest's e-mail address


  3. Updates to the task sent to the guest's e-mail address.

    I got the question from an user in our organization if guest would recieve mail notification of tasks assigned to them and I was inclined to answer that that would be the case. I checked it on the internet to be sure and I am surprised this isn't the case and that this request is open since 2018.

    When will Microsoft start to see that not completely implementing a product will drive people away when it partially works? Then we have to come an request a NEW feature for something that should consistently work? Almost like buying a car with 3 wheels and being asked to improve the ride with the manufacturer by suggesting the 4th tire. Then the online documentation for Guests vaguely state that "SOME" notifications will be sent to guests. This should be considered a BUG fix and not a new enhancement!

    There is no way this should be a feature request. This is necessary for Planner to be a Minimum Viable Product.

    I will be passing on the inclusion of the tool in our business collaboration.

    I work as an external contractor for a company and am a 'Guest' on their planner. I can't be a member because my Office365 account is not with them. As a guest I don't get the emails so am out of the loop. This is a real limitation for me and the rest of the team.

    Seems like a total bazaar omission to leave Guests out of the emails.

    We absolutly need this feature in our current project, as people from two organizations work together as one team.
    Please implement! :-)

    I totally agree, this option is crucial if we want to make this tool really collaborative

  • Thomas Nünlist commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This function is very important. We work with several external partners. We lose valuable time (sometimes days) to manually inform everyone and complete tasks. Collaboration with external partners is currently very difficult.

    This is an absolute must! Why bother having guest access if they can't get notified of tasks and changes? Must resolve immediately!

    What is the purpose of cloud based project information management if "Guests" - equals at the table but treated differently by 365 - can't get notifications?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is absolutely a waste of a collaboration tool if this notification for guests are not available.
