Including Outlook attachments with To Do tasks through Automation

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2
I'm having trouble creating a Power Automate flow that takes an outlook email and creates a new task in Microsoft To Do that also includes the attachments from the email. It seems like this may not be possible, which is confusing because when I manually create a task from an email (using advanced actions), the task is created with a link to view the entire email message. This workflow will make it so that I don't have to go searching through my inbox to view the email because it would be attached to the task through automation.

    Hi,
     
    Trigger: When new email arrives (V3)
    Condition: Check if email meets criteria
    Apply to each: Attachments
    Create file in OneDrive (or SharePoint)
    Create task in To Do:
      Title: Email subject
      Notes: "Attachments saved to: [OneDrive link]
              Original email: [truncated body]
              From: [sender]"
