Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am trying to create an approval workflow , which gets triggered when a file is created in a sharepoint folder. So in the approval mail  , I have inluded the file path ( as a dynamic content) in the the "Item Link" field. However , when I get the email , and click on the file path link , I get the error : 

Error 404 : File/folder does not exist

But the folder and the file exisits in my sharepoint site .. 

Can you please help 

 

Thanks

    Hi @Anonymous,

    The file path and the item link are two distinctly different things.

    Unfortunately the data in the trigger "When a file is created in a folder" doesn't include the item link so we have to get it from the file properties as below:

    Firstly there's the trigger itself, then we get the file metadata using the File identifier from the trigger and the get the file properties from the meta data:

    ItemLinkGet.png

     

    We can then use the "Link to item" dynamic data from the get file properties in the approval:

    Hope this helps!
