Flow add outlook attachments to planner

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by KeatonTucker 2

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a full task in planner from an outlook email. I have it already set to create a task from a new email with the subject as the title, and the body as the description. Is there a way in Flow to update a task's attachments? I want to be able to include any attachements sent in the email to be added to the new task.

 

Thank you

    Hi KeatonTucker,

     

    Are you trying to save the email attachment as an attachment of the task?


    When configure the flow with the action “Planner – Create a task”, I found that there is no field can be used to add email attachment to task’s attachment.


    Please consider to create a request at Flow Ideas Forum, I will help report and collect it on my side.
