Microsoft To Do integration

Microsoft To Do lets Dainvo show and update tasks from Microsoft To Do task lists.

What syncs​

Dainvo can read lists and tasks and can send supported task changes back through Microsoft Graph. Typical fields include title, body or notes, due date, status, importance, and list.

Microsoft To Do sidebar views can include Inbox, Planned, and normal task lists. My Day and Assigned to me are available only when Microsoft Graph supports the required Planner task surfaces for the connected account.

My Day and Assigned to me​

Microsoft's normal To Do task APIs support both work or school accounts and personal Microsoft accounts when the required To Do permission is approved. My Day and Assigned to me use Microsoft Graph Planner APIs instead.

Current Microsoft Graph documentation marks Planner My Day and assigned-task APIs as unsupported for personal Microsoft accounts. If you connect a personal Outlook.com, Hotmail, or Live account, Dainvo still syncs supported Microsoft To Do lists and tasks, but hides My Day, Assigned to me, and Add to My Day so the app does not show controls Microsoft will reject.

Install​

  1. Open Settings > Accounts.
  2. Choose Add Microsoft To Do.
  3. Sign in with the Microsoft account that owns the task lists.
  4. Approve To Do task access.
  5. Return to Dainvo and wait for task sync.

If Microsoft is already connected for Outlook Calendar, choose Add Microsoft To Do to enable tasks on the same account.

Remove​

  1. Open Settings > Accounts.
  2. Disable Microsoft To Do on the Microsoft account, or remove the whole Microsoft connection.
  3. For work or school accounts, revoke app permissions in the Microsoft My Apps portal if needed.

Removing Microsoft To Do from Dainvo does not delete tasks in Microsoft To Do.

Troubleshooting​

  • Tasks missing: use Sync now.
  • Permission errors: reconnect Microsoft and approve Tasks access.
  • Admin approval required: ask your Microsoft 365 administrator to approve the delegated task permissions.
  • Pending changes: keep Dainvo open and online, then sync again.
  • My Day or Assigned to me missing: use a work or school Microsoft account that supports the required Graph Planner task surfaces. Personal Outlook.com, Hotmail, and Live accounts can still sync normal To Do lists and tasks, but do not support these views through Microsoft Graph.
