Flow with email and task

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

hello,

I am trying to set up an automatic task creator when we receive an email on a shared box.

 

I can create the task and update the details to add the email title as the tast title and the body as the description.

 

But now I want to have an automatic email to the sender when the task is assigned to someone with the contact detail. I only found 'when assigned to me'.

 

Any idea how I can make this work?

 

Thank you

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Do you want to send an email to someone when the task is assigned to him/her?

     

    If yes, I assume that it is currently not possible, Flow only has the trigger When a task is assigned to me, and there is no dynamic content for Assigned to for a task.

     

    I have seen a similar request on Flow Ideas Forum, please vote the idea at here:

    Best regards,

    Mabel Mao
