    Hi @Rodyaa ,

     

    It seems that you cannot use actions in the Office 365 outlook connector and you will encounter the same error.

     

    Please make sure you can log in to Office 365 outlook in your browser. You need to have a relevant subscription to use this service and create an Office 365 outlook connection. Please check the following thread and see if it helps:

    Maybe you could use Approval action to create approval request.

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Best Regards,
