I have been able to create a planner task when email is flagged, but I cannot figure out how to have the task include the email attachments.  Can you help me?

    Hi!

    A common orkaround is to store the attachments in sharepoint, then get its link and store it in the Planner task. Please note a max of 9 links can be stored per planner task

    Hope this helps

    Thank you so much.  I'm even more confused now though because I have seen solutions that show attachments being created in planner from outlook.  I'm at a loss, but thank you for your response.

    hi @tpmcg1092  unfortunally you can't attach files to planner task just links.
