Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am trying to create a flow that triggers on a new team channel message and outputs a planner task with any attachments from the message. Anyone know how to do this?

I tried a bunch of different ways, but it keeps failing at the same spot because the contentUrl keeps coming back null and I can't figure out why. screenshots and errors below.

hi @Anonymous it looks like you are using equals(Data) and you need to use it like equals(Dada,Data) to compare.

Hi @Anonymous ,

I always get contentUrl of the attachment, please check the run history:

Please try to check the Files tab and see if the files have stored in SharePoint Library.

Besides, if you can get the file name, we could get the url of file through the file name.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Functioning flow is below - it takes a few minutes for the task to be updated, but it works! expressions are as follows:

name - items('Apply_to_each')?['name']
contentUrl - items('Apply_to_each')?['contentUrl']

Hello,

Thank you for this - I am trying to copy this flow but I get stuck at 'append to array variable' stage.

I am a beginner, and not a coder and do not have an IT background, and I can't find a way to replicate what you have in the 'value' field - please could someone explain to me how to enter it? I cannot see dynamic content named either 'name' or 'contentUrl' - I can see you've posted additional expressions about these beneath the flow but I'm afraid with my level of knowledge I don't understand where to put it/what to do with it. I'd be very grateful for any assistance.
