Can anyone explain what this means? I have used the template from flows but changed the User profile to the individual assigned to a task in the planner we are linked too.
Flow save failed with code 'InvalidTemplate' and message 'The template validation failed: 'The inputs of template action 'Send_an_email_(V2)' at line '1 and column '2677' cannot reference action 'Get_user_profile_(V2)'. The action 'Get_user_profile_(V2)' is nested in a foreach scope of multiple levels. Referencing repetition actions from outside the scope is supported only when there are no multiple levels of nesting.'.'.
Thanks for your help in advance.
@FrancisCharriot It's hard to offer any recommendations without seeing how your flow is laid out. If you are using the new designer, toggle it off and click each action to expand them. If you can upload a screenshot of your flow in edit mode and the error you are receiving, it would help to provide more insight.

How to Email Attachments 🖇 to Your Planner Tasks
When you add attachments to a Planner task from your computer, the files are automatically saved in the Documents document library of the SharePoint site associated with the M365 Group of your plan. Instead of downloading email attachments to OneDrive or SharePoint just so you can add them to a Planner Task—automate it.
In this Microsoft Power Automate Tutorial—I’m going to show you how build a flow that will take your email attachments and add them to a Planner task. All you need to do is copy a link to a task, forward the email to yourself and the attachments will be saved onto SharePoint and attached to your planner task.
At the end of the video I’ll show you how to use Trigger Conditions so this automation only runs when specific conditions are met.
