How to create a proper link to Teams meeesage in automtic flow?

Question

I have created a flow that creates a task in a Planner, whenever a new message with specific topic is created in a channel in MS Teams. There is also created a link back to the message in Teams. However, the link works for me but not for the other channel members. I think it is connected with tenantId in the link, which needs to be replaced for other channel members.

Could you give a detailed description or screenshots about the process when you create a flow that creates a task in Planner?
