How to get the header of an HTTP action to further process it?

Hi all,

I'm building some low-code automation and would like some help with it.
I'm running an HTTP POST query, which runs fine. The status code is 202, response preview is empty. But the response header contains some information with which I can query for the status of the POST action. The response header information is available when I run the query in Graph Explorer, but not in the header when I run the same in PowerAutomate.
Is there a way to get this response header information also in PowerAutomate?

It is not available when using an expression like outputs('HTTP_POST_API_to_on-premises')['headers']?['location']

Thanks in advance,

Peter

The sounds like an async type of operation, where the initial request is accepted but it is still processing stuff in the background.

Do you have any more details about the API you are using? This might help with troubleshooting why it is not returning any details in Power Automate.

Thanks for your reply.

It's related to API-driven inbound provisioning with Azure Logic Apps, some info is found here API-driven inbound provisioning with Azure Logic Apps - Microsoft Entra ID | Microsoft Learn.

It indeed does a request and with the info in the response header you can track the status of the initial request.
