Document approval flow - Failed to verify the existence of source object at '' due to error 'The system cannot find the file specified

Hi guys

 

I've been battling with this for hours, hopefully one of you can point out where im going wrong with this. I'm trying to setup a flow where someone submits a doc into a folder for approval, its sends an email for approval and when approved moves to another folder for second approval and from there once approved moves to the approved folder. Im getting stuck on when it tries to move from the second folder to the approved folder, i've tried adding in get file/identifier but no luck. Any ideas?

 

Error on the "Move file approved 2" - 

status"400,
  "message""Failed to verify the existence of source object at '' due to error 'The system cannot find the file specified.

    Anyone have a solution for this? it looks like the second move file is looking at the first folder so doesn't find the folder in the 2nd folder. How do you update the identify so it has the latest folder the file was moved to?

    Hi @StratusIT ,

     

    You could use the "Get file properties" action to get the Identifier of the moved file.  I have a test for your reference, please refer to this workaround:
