Create Planner Task and Include Attachments From Outlook Email

Posted on by C1R

Hi,

I've followed the following tutorial on how to setup a flow to create a planner task by @AlanPs1 which sounds amazing.

For some reason I keep on getting a false response on finding the attachment in the email, even there surely is something attached...!

Also, if does anyone know there is a way to include the following in the flow;

Email numbered list should be converted into Task Checklist,
The task priority should match the email importance
Default setting should be the task 'Show on Card' enabled

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks

C1R

Hi @C1R,

If the method checks if attachments exist in the Email couldn't work, you could determine it directly as below:

Also, if does anyone know there is a way to include the following in the flow;

Email numbered list should be converted into Task Checklist,

The task priority should match the email importance

Default setting should be the task 'Show on Card' enabled

Answer:

1. You could add the Email number into an Excel file instead of task checklist;

2. Set task priority is not supported currently, you could set the corresponding category according to the importance:

3. Set 'Show on Card' enabled is not supported.

Thanks for your advice.

I managed to figure out my error when following the original guide by AlanPs1, he used the following formula
equals(body(‘Get_email’)?[‘HasAttachment’], true)
However for some reason this returned a false result, but when I changed it to
equals(body(‘Get_email’)?[‘HasAttachments’], true)
with an 'S' at the end of has attachment it did work.

Many thanks for the colour code option, will try it out.
