Ability to send an email to Planner and create a Task

Going to give this a try; however, I know my users and it would be far simpler for them to be able to forward an email than work with Flow.

The problem with FLOW is that it is very flaky right now, sometime it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I have a FLOW that creates a planner task.
the busoinies wants a choice column from the list and a text column concatinated to create the description. then it flips a flag in my list to move the list item from the new view to the MKTing view.
Most of the time if I only choose one option in the request type FLOW will work, the planner is created and the flag is flipped, Life is great :)
Now I try to choose 2 items and it blows up on me. can't find ID.
Burt sometime it works. Everytime I go to put this into produsction for my users it seems to fail, but if I go update the FLOW (without changing anything ) it sometimes works the first time thru.
I added a few screenshot, maybe there is something obvious I am doing wrong? I have been following all kinds blogs and it seems like I am doing this correctly :)
TIA,
Joe

Hello,
have you tried having a delay before getting the task id ?
Seems to be working for me for my short flow.
Current delay is set to 30 seconds, I am looking into if it can be shorter, but hopefully this can help you.
Cheers.

Thanks Kristjan,
Yes I figured out the delay a while back :)
Unfortunately, I have had soo many FLOW issues, that I can't remember every post to go back to and update.
