Good afternoon Power Community! 
 
I am working on building a flow that allows my leadership group to be assigned investigation tasks via planner, that are submitted via a Microsoft Form. That part was simple. 
 
The hard part is getting Automate to reference the SAME task and pull the email from the form to send out an email to the individual that their investigation was completed. 
 
Simple Structure.
 
Flow 1 (Built and Already Functional)
1) Trigger = Form Submitted
2) Response Details
3) Convert Time Zone 
4) Post Message in Teams Channel
5) Add row into excel table
6) Create Task in Planner
7) Get task details
8) Update Task Details with Notes
9) A switch to assign the supervisor the task. 
10) Send an email to the employee indicating who is assigned the investigation. 
 
Flow 2 (Dont know how to build to reference step 10 from Flow 1) 
1) Desired Trigger = When (the above) task is completed ^^^^
2) Start and Wait for Approval indicating task was not erroneously marked complete. 
3) Send email to same employee from step 10 above saying the investigation has been closed.

    When the second trigger happens its going to have the same ID as the task you created brefore.
     
    In your first flow, swap 5 and 6, storing the Task ID in the Excel as well as the Email of the person its supposed to go to
     
    In your second flow
    When triggered, List rows in a Table from Excel, filter by the TaskID
    Get the Email

    Send the email.
