Hi Ahmed,

The file needs to be accessible by WorkflowGen. Your file `SCAN.PDF` needs to be present on application server or in network folder accessible by WorkflowGen server.

We strongly recommend to use [GraphQL](https://discuss.workflowgen.com/t/how-to-launch-a-request-with-a-file-using-graphql/1285) or [Incoming WebHooks](https://discuss.workflowgen.com/t/how-to-launch-a-request-with-a-file-using-webhooks/1287) to send file.

Regards,  
Quentin
