Hello Gurus!

Looking for some guidance on how best to get Power Automate to send notifications via email for any data classification changes from Microsoft Purview.

My current PA flow was successfully built but when tested it fails with the following error: Action 'Send_an_HTTP_request' failed: URI path is not a valid Graph endpoint, path is neither absolute nor relative or resource/object is not supported for this connector. Resources: me,users Objects: messages,mailFolders,events,calendar,calendars,outlook,inferenceClassification. Uri: https://purview.microsoft.com/

I've modified the URI several times with no luck.

I would greatly appreciate any help with this PA flow!

Here's a high level of the steps:

1. Create an Automated Cloud Flow

Log in to Power Automate.
Click Create → Automated cloud flow.
Name it “Purview Classification Change Alert”.
Choose “Recurrence” as the trigger to check for changes periodically.
- Set it to run every X minutes/hours depending on your needs.

2. Add an HTTP Request to Check Classification Changes

Click New Step → “HTTP” action.
Set the method to GET and enter the Purview API endpoint:

https://{purview-endpoint}/catalog/api/classifications

Add Headers:

Authorization: Bearer {access_token}
Content-Type: application/json

Authenticate using the OAuth 2.0 method with the Client ID, Secret, and Tenant ID from Step 1.

Step 3: Filter for Classification Changes from “Restricted” to “Internal”

Click New Step → “Filter array” action.
In the “From” field, select the output from the HTTP response (JSON).
Set the condition:
- Previous Classification = Restricted
- New Classification = Internal

Step 4: Send an Email Notification

Click New Step → “Send an email (Outlook 365)” action.
Configure the email:
- To: Compliance team or security group.
- Subject: “ALERT: Data Classification Changed from Restricted to Internal”
- Body:

Attention Security Team,

The following data classification has been changed:

- File Name: {File Name}
- Previous Classification: Restricted
- New Classification: Internal
- Changed By: {User}
- Timestamp: {Change Date}

Please review this change to ensure compliance.

Regards,
Security Team
