How to delete an attachment in Microsoft Planner using power automate

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 24

I am trying to update an attachment every month in my Microsoft planner using power automate. I am able to attach the new document but the old one on the task doesn't delete. I want to either delete/replace the old attachment with the new one. How do I do this? 

 

I have put an example of my flow and output in planner.

    Just create a variable for the Resource array and update the Task action.

    It should overwrite the previous entry

    Hello @SudeepGhatakNZ , 

    Please may you help share a screenshot of how the flow should look. At which step should I create a variable for the resource array? also should I update the task action in the attachement section? 

    Really appreciate your help
