Copy files from Planner to Sharepoint Subfolder

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Hello everyone

I need to run a flow to copy shared files from Planner panels to sharepoint sub folder. It's for security

 

The fact is that none of the flows in template mode allow me to do so. The tests have been as follows:

 

Copy file to

This flow forces me to put the file I want to copy somewhere else, but I can't to know what the file is. Putting *.*, *, /*.* doesn't work. and I don't know why.

As this flow doesn't work I decided to try this one.


Copy folder to

in this flow what doesn't work is copying the root folder that Microsofot Flow automatically assigns when I create the panel. This action only works when instead of using the root folder, I use a subfolder that is inside the root folder. But this has a problem, and that is that for the flow to work, I need to move the files from the subfolder to the shared documents folder of the panel. What a mess. I tried to create another flow that copies from the panel documents folder to the subfolder, but I can't and I want to understand that it's for security.

 

 Can anyone help me? 😰

    The Microsoft Flow Planner Connector does not allow for accessing Planner card or task files (see documentation). If this is functionality you would like to see added to Flow or a Flow Template, please consider submitting it to the Flow Ideas page, where it can be voted on by other users, and tracked and commented on by the Flow team.

    There is already a similar Add attachment to task in Planner submission with 78 upvotes. Flow expert, @AlanPs1 has also written a great blog post, Create Planner Task and Include Attachments From Outlook Email which may be of some use.

    Hi @iCal ,

     

    If you want to copy attachments from Planner to SharePoint folder, I am afraid that it might be not possible currently.

     

    There is similar request on “Planner: get more details from a task in planner (e.g. Comments, assigned To, Label, Attachments, ..”, please feel free vote and comment it at here:

    Thanks for yout answers

     

    Maybe it's easier to show it with an image.
    The problem is that there must be some restriction on the use of the Add atachments folder

     

     

    Meanwhile I´ll read the links 🙏🏻

    Hi @iCal ,

     

    Thanks for the image.

    But I am afraid that we are not able to get attachments from Planner task. So it’s not possible to copy  files from Planner to SharePoint folder.

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel
