Create planner tasks for flagged emails in office 365

[Jayks7]

Hey all,

Happy new year

Hope someone can assist, 

I created the flow "Create planner tasks for flagged emails in office 365", but when an email is flagged, I only get a task created in Planner, but no title, link to the email or anything else that shows what is in the email. Seems like only a task is created - Anyways to get the emails information into Planner?

Overall objective is to get to-do's/important emails directly from Outlook to planner, currently using flagged as my to-do list, and the thought above approach would be the best approach, but open to other suggestions if there are better ways of getting emails into planner:)

Hi @Jayks7 ,

There's an action in Planner that might help you.

I recommend that you add "Update task details" after "Create a task". With this you can add a description of the task, insert links and attachments. You can also select certain dynamic content of the email to be inserted into the task.

There is a post about the action for your reference: Power Automate: Planner - Update task details Action - Manuel T. Gomes (manueltgomes.com)

Please reply to me If you have questions about using this action.

Best regards,

Hey Rimmon, 

Thank you very much for you swift reply and details discription! Seems like I might have a different version then you and the article? I get the below when I create a "Update task details".

 

If possible could you assist me with the following

- Task ID, how do I find the task ID from "Create a Task"? 

- Where do I find the other things you are refering to such as attachments, content and the likes

Once again, thank you for the swift reply

Hi @Jayks7 ,

Glad to hear from you.

We can get task Id from dynamic content, and we should use "Update task details" not "Update a task" if we want to upload attachments.

For more information on how to use this, you can refer to the link in my first reply.

Thank you again for posting your questions here, and I hope you get all the best with Power Automate. If my previous answer helps you solve the problem, hope you can accept it as a solution.

Thx again for swift reply - I changed it, but I don't have the option for "Dynamic content" and all the manuels seems different from what my interface look like, is this because I am using a different version? 

Do you know how I can get "Dynamic content?

Appreciate all the answers, still having some issues with it, but sure it is I am doing something wrong. Will keep it as an unresolved, until I have finalized it, so I make sure I can get more help from you. Just so I can keep track of it.

Appreciated your help

Perhaps this pre-made flow is exactly what you need? You might just have to make a few small tweaks to get the extra information over that you require?
