Create a task from Forms input with multiple attachments as files, due date and labels

Posted on by 20
Dear fellow builders and experts, 
 
I have been trying to update our workflow by getting our orders into Forms instead of emails. Right now we have our orders send by email, which triggers a flow that collects the attachments and creates a task with the attachments as files, not as a link and we like that very much. However, we still need to edit and update every order by hand. 
 
Now, in the ideal situation, this is what I want: 
 
The order is made through Forms. That information is stored in Sharepoint, and then a task is created with attachments as files, the due date and a single label all from information gathered from the forms input. 
 
Right now I have 3 different flows that each can do part of it, but I can't seem to be able to connect it or gather it into one or two flows. 
 
Flow 1: 
From Forms input an item on Sharepointlist is created. 
Flow 2:
The Sharepoint item triggers an email being send with the attachments, the information on the list in the body of the e-mail and then from there creates a task on our planner with the attachments as files and the body text in the description on the task. However, here I can't use the Sharepoint input to update the task with the given due date (forms input) and a label. 
 
Flow 3:
When I create the task from the Sharepoint input, I can automatically add due date, priority and one label through conditions. (please replace the sharepoint trigger here with the original created information - I have a screenshot from another which is working but didn't get other results I wanted).
 
 
Is there any way to combine this into one or two following flows that create the desired outcome? 
 
 
I hope anyone can help me out. 
 
Kind regards, 

D.

    For anyone looking for a solution for a similar problem, I have been able to fix this using a new power automate flow based on this video by Paul Murana https://youtu.be/6dbL4aepkHo?si=DW6NlKjE49bl-To4. I simply added all the things I wanted into this one flow.
