Power Automate: Add attachments to planner task from a Form submission

Posted on by EverAg

Hi!

I have been searching and utilizing all support help to try and solve my attachment issue.

I cannot figure out why my attachments are not feeding into my tasks. The flows succeed, just without the attachments.

Is there a place that shows you step by step how to create a flow that includes the attachment on a task?

Many tutorials don't include what code is placed into the parseJSON areas, or it's missing a differnt type of code. I would like one that shows you every single step with copy and paste options.

Thank you

Hi @EverAg ，

I'm afraid you can't add attachments directly to Planner, but you can add a link to attachments, please see the following test:

{ "type": "array", "items": { "type": "object", "properties": { "name": { "type": "string" }, "link": { "type": "string" }, "id": { "type": "string" }, "type": {}, "size": { "type": "integer" }, "referenceId": { "type": "string" }, "driveId": { "type": "string" }, "status": { "type": "integer" }, "uploadSessionUrl": {} }, "required": [ "name", "link", "id", "type", "size", "referenceId", "driveId", "status", "uploadSessionUrl" ] } }

My Planner Task:

I really appreciate you quick response, thank you!
Unfortunately it is giving me an error when I made those changes.
This might be why: sometimes people will upload to the form, and other times they wont.. would that make this flow change?
After I added the changes you recommended, I am getting this error during testing:
Cannot set child value ' !' on Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JValue:'https://dairyddc-my.sharepoint.com/personal/erika_young_ever_ag/Documents/Apps/Microsoft%20Forms/Advertisement%20Intake%20Form%20%20(Copy)/Related%20Artwork/Screenshot%202024-05-10%20at%208.52.38%E2%80%AFAM_Erika%20Young%201.png'

I can see the name of the file that was uploaded in that form in this error, so Im not quite sure where I'm missing the mark.

Ive attached screenshots of the errors.

Hi @EverAg ，

So your question is whether it sometimes uploads a file and sometimes it doesn't, and when it doesn't upload a file, does Flow report an error?

If so,we first determine whether the question of whether to upload files is empty.

If it is not empty, go to the yes branch, parse the uploaded file, create tasks and update tasks, add the name and link of the file.

If it is empty, go to the no branch and only create tasks. and update tasks

Hi @EverAg ，

The value of this link is different for everyone, my link is not the same as your link, even if it is given to you, you can't use it, you just need to parse Json and then use the dynamic content name.
