Can't add multiple attachments to Planner task

[helpwithautomat]

I'm trying to create a flow for when an email appears in a shared inbox.  I want a Planner task to be created and all attachments added to the task.

I can get the email on the Planner, but I can't get the attachments to the task.  I found some walkthroughs but they refer to a dynamic called "link to item" that no longer exists. 

Other walkthroughs seem to center around sending an email afterwards, but I'm not looking for that.

How do I add attachments (perhaps several, perhaps none) to the Planner task?

Hi @helpwithautomat 

According to your description, you want to add email attachments to Planner task.

You can create a folder in Sharepoint to save email attachments, and then create a file share link through the ‘Create sharing link for a file or folder action’, and then update the file name and file link to the task.

I set up a flow, you can take a try with the following screenshots.

Complete Flow:

Save and test the Flow.

When shared mailbox receive an email like below:

A new task will be created with attachments.

Hope the content above may help you.

Thank you! This is what I needed!

If you could keep helping, I tried to add a condition where it checks if the task has already been created first, and then only updates the task id.  But something went terribly wrong and it kept making a task over and over and over again until I turned it off. 

I have an idea where it goes wrong, but can't quite fix it.

Hi @helpwithautomat 

If your Task title is unique, you can try the following:

If there is a value in the Filter query, it means that there is already a Task whose title is equal to Subject, just need to update it, otherwise create a new Task based on the subject of the email.

I'm still getting the same duplicating task problem

Hi @helpwithautomat 

The judgment condition in Condition action should select 'is not equal to', and the left side should write 0.

Hi helpwithautomat,

I had a similar requirement recently and I decided to tackle it a bit differently. I decided to forward emails or post to a Teams channel and subsequently run a Flow to create a task with the email body and attachments. Here's what I came up with:
Add Attachments to Planner from Teams Channel Posts

Hope this helps.
