We are trying to build an approver flow in a on premise SharePoint 2019 using an on premise data gateway to connect to power automate. We have added a formatted column to the document library that adds a text-button that should trigger the flow.
When we push the button in the browser a call is made to the SharePoint server.
On the SharePoint server we see in the ULS logs that the call is made but it gets an exception when it can’t resolve a call to “powerappsfe-prod.trafficmanager.net” and then that it could not obtain current users OID.
Nothing is triggered in the flow when we look at it in Power Automate.
So the first question is if should be possible to build a flow that is triggered from a formatted list column using a SharePoint 2019 connected with a on premise gateway?
And if it is possible any ideas what could be wrong in our scenario? Should it be possible to have traffic directly to https://powerappsfe-prod.trafficmanager.net:11777 or should it automatically be routed through the gateway?
Would be nice to have an updated statement on this, with the new SharePoint server Subscription Edition.
I had an MS case open about this in June 2021 an then the answer was that it was not possible:
"The scenario you try to achieve is not supported on any on-premises version of SharePoint, you’ll not be able to make it work"
"You can only send traffic from on-premise to cloud via the internet, and call the available endpoints (REST or CSOM or any other APIs available)."
Maybe someone at Microsoft can give us some insight in this?
Same question : I have the same request...
Did you ever find a solution to this?
