nikhiluppal&nbsp;&nbsp;The file link that you have to validate need to be appended on the 'Item Link' property in order to have it available in the Outlook approval processtriggerOutputs()?['body/{Link}']&nbsp;Then, it will make an approval request along with the file link in Outlook.&nbsp;And use the relative path of the file to move it to the 'Reject Document' folder.triggerOutputs()?['body/{FullPath}']&nbsp;Let me know if this helps.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;The error indicates that the source file, which is being attempted to be moved to the reject folder, is not available. can you confirm this on the below path?&nbsp;https://5c8rtl.sharepoint.com/sites/PowerAutomateWorkshop/Approvals Library/How to create a model-driven app using the classic designer.pdf&nbsp;If yes, upload a file again and make a retest. Let me know if this helps.&nbsp;nikhiluppal

SanthoshB1&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you helping me.&nbsp;The first part of the error has resolved as soon as I attached the link to item in SharePoint action.&nbsp;But the second part of the error is still not resolved as I tried using /Fullpath in SharePoint action when document is rejected. It is showing me following error message"Failed to verify the existence of source object at 'https://5c8rtl.sharepoint.com/sites/PowerAutomateWorkshop/Approvals Library/How to create a model-driven app using the classic designer.pdf' due to error 'The system cannot find the file specified."&nbsp;I have also attached the screenshot of the error message as well as of the flow.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It will really helpful if you could please guide me on the error message.&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;Nikhil&nbsp;
