Attach a sharepoint link with .eml mail and its attachments on a Planner task

[absint0o]

Hi there,

I have this flow:

The Teams Channel only receives emails and i wanted to create a task whenever this Teams channel receives an email. But i also wanted to add a link to the .eml mail and to every attachment inside the email. I've noticed that every email received by the Teams channel creates .eml files and saves attachements to the "Email Messages" Sharepoint inside the Teams Channel. So, it's possible to copy the link from this .eml and the email attachments and add them to Task description?

Thank you very much!

regards,

João

Hi!

'I've noticed that every email received by the Teams channel creates .eml files and saves attachements to the "Email Messages" Sharepoint inside the Teams Channel'

If the Teams Channel only receives emails, did you consider replacing your current trigger and use 'When a file is created' in "Email Messages" Sharepoint instead? So you just need to doublecheck if extension is .eml, if so create the task.

I believe the trigger provides as one of its output a linkk to the new file, you can just use it in your 'Update task details'

Hope this helps

Hi @absint0o ,

I agree with the suggestion provided by @efialttes that you can monitor changes in the email message folder and create corresponding tasks.

Please try to refer to the following image to configure flow.

• Initialize array variables to store links to file.
• Use an expression to get the code contained in the file name to get the corresponding attachment in the email.

last(split(triggerBody()?['{Name}'],'_'))

• Traverse the email message folder to get the corresponding attachment and append it to the array variable. In addition, you need to append the .eml file to the array variable.
• Finally, configure Update task details action.
