Hi, we are building a simple way of managing requests via a teams channel where emails are sent for action. a flow creates the task within planner from the team message. But we would like to add a link back to the original message so that attachments etc can be viewed as required (keeping it simple and not moving attachments to task). I can determine the url to the orginal message. however within flow I cannot get a way to use that link successfully.
Is there a way to link the original team message within the task as an attachment link?
Currently
it errors with :
Link Used

Solved the issue.
Evidently trying to update the task in a 2nd step was part of the issue. but in attempting to put the details into the body as a temporary solution , flow has converted it to a link that works!
so to put the link in the body of the task , you simply goto the channel you are working on , on a message in the channel -get link to message, paste this out so you can extract out the link details using edit hyperlink. then use the first part of the link upto thread.skype/ paste this into a flow step HTML to Text and then insert the etag field , wrap all in """ and then just use this in the body section of update task details.
you then have a clickable link back to the original message.
Can finally use teams to better manage projects.
