Wedia - Microsoft Planner Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Wedia and Microsoft Planner

1. Campaign Content Production Task Creation

Direction: Microsoft Planner ? Wedia

When a marketing campaign is approved in Microsoft Planner, a structured task set can trigger in Wedia for the required assets, such as banners, social posts, product visuals, and localized versions. This helps brand and creative teams move from planning to execution faster while keeping content requests aligned to campaign timelines.

• Automatically create asset production tasks from campaign plans
• Assign owners, due dates, and approval checkpoints
• Reduce manual handoffs between marketing operations and creative teams

2. Asset Review and Approval Workflow Tracking

Direction: Bi-directional

As assets move through review in Wedia, status updates can sync back to Microsoft Planner so project managers can track progress without checking multiple systems. This improves visibility into creative bottlenecks and helps teams keep launch schedules on track.

• Update Planner task status when assets are approved, rejected, or need revision
• Provide project teams with real-time content readiness visibility
• Support faster escalation when approvals are delayed

3. Regional Content Localization Coordination

Direction: Microsoft Planner ? Wedia

Global marketing teams can use Microsoft Planner to assign localization work for specific regions, then push those tasks into Wedia where localized asset versions are managed and distributed. This is useful for multinational brands that need consistent messaging with market-specific adaptations.

• Create region-specific localization tasks from a master campaign plan
• Track translation, adaptation, and legal review activities
• Ensure local teams work from approved source assets in Wedia

4. Asset Distribution Readiness Notifications

Direction: Wedia ? Microsoft Planner

When a final asset package is published in Wedia, Planner tasks can be updated or created to notify downstream teams such as web, social, retail, or field marketing that content is ready for deployment. This reduces delays caused by teams waiting for confirmation that assets are approved and available.

• Trigger downstream deployment tasks when final assets are published
• Notify channel owners that content is ready for use
• Improve coordination between creative production and channel execution teams

5. Campaign Launch Checklist Management

Direction: Microsoft Planner ? Wedia

Microsoft Planner can serve as the campaign execution checklist, while Wedia stores the approved content required for each launch milestone. Integration ensures that every launch task is linked to the correct approved asset, helping teams avoid using outdated or unapproved materials.

• Link launch tasks to approved Wedia assets
• Track completion of content-dependent milestones
• Reduce brand compliance risks during campaign rollout

6. Content Performance Follow-Up Tasks

Direction: Wedia ? Microsoft Planner

Using Wedia asset analytics, teams can identify underperforming content or regions with low asset usage and automatically create follow-up tasks in Microsoft Planner. This enables marketing teams to act on performance insights by refreshing creative, adjusting formats, or producing new variants.

• Create optimization tasks based on asset usage or performance data
• Assign follow-up actions to content, regional, or channel owners
• Turn analytics into operational improvements

7. Cross-Team Content Request Intake

Direction: Microsoft Planner ? Wedia

Business teams can submit content requests in Microsoft Planner, which then generate structured production records in Wedia for the DAM and creative teams. This creates a controlled intake process for new asset requests, helping standardize briefs and reduce incomplete submissions.

• Capture request details, deadlines, and business context in Planner
• Convert requests into managed content jobs in Wedia
• Improve intake quality and reduce back-and-forth clarification
