Hi

There are many many many posts on how to attach files to a planner task, so please share what you tried to do, as we are educational, not contractors.

Happy to help you get passed what you are stuck on but need to see what you are stuck on. That or do some more searches.

@AR-28010910-0 You might be interested in this YT Tutorial linked below. If you run into any issues and are using the new designer, toggle it off and click each action to expand it. Upload a screenshot of your flow in edit mode.

How to Email Attachments 🖇 to Your Planner Tasks
When you add attachments to a Planner task from your computer, the files are automatically saved in the Documents document library of the SharePoint site associated with the M365 Group of your plan.

Instead of downloading email attachments to OneDrive or SharePoint just so you can add them to a Planner Task—automate it. In this Microsoft Power Automate Tutorial—I’m going to show you how build a flow that will take your email attachments and add them to a Planner task. All you need to do is copy a link to a task, forward the email to yourself and the attachments will be saved onto SharePoint and attached to your planner task.
At the end of the video I’ll show you how to use Trigger Conditions so this automation only runs when specific conditions are met!
