Posted on by SimonB2020

Hey there Community, Im not sure how to achieve the copying over of the ToDo description over to Planner, and ideally it would include a link to the Outlook Email.

NOTE: i added all sorts of dynamic body content to see if anything comes up that may be legible. Which it is not.

My current flow looks like this:

Help is appreciated!!!

Hi @SimonB2020,

It looks like Microsoft is grabbing the content of the e-mail via a linked resource. The trigger outputs actually shows that the body content field will be empty for this kind of Flagged Emails type of To Do tasks. That's why it makes sense that you are not able to retrieve any content.

Use the expression below to get the first link to the e-mail message via that linkedresources:

triggerOutputs()?['body']['linkedResources'][0]['webUrl']

Im fairly new to this. Is it possible to show an example of the condition or action where I will input this trigger action?

Please and thanks for considering!!

Hi @SimonB2020,

You can add those details to your Update task details action. You can add the expression to the Reference resource link 1 field via the expression tab.

Below is an example

1. Add a title for your link in the Reference Alias 1 field

2. Add the expression below (via the expression tab) in the Reference Resource Link 1 field

triggerOutputs()?['body']['linkedResources'][0]['webUrl']

3. The end result should look like the below (which is a link to the message in OWA).

Thank you very much @Expiscornovus !! happy with that.

I suppose at the moment, there is not a good way to capture the text from the Flagged email todo into the planner task tho?
