Hey @Kuldeep0595

Please clarify, " but also need to add the document as an attachment to the list item which I have in the form of URL."

You can use the HTTP action to "Get" the file content and then "Add Attachment" .

@Kuldeep0595 -Perfect - I had requested you to use "Get File Content as Path action" - https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Adding-an-attachment-to-new-list-item-using-SharePoint-document/m-p/1960465/highlight/true#M216040
