Was there any resolution to this?

From what I understand Flow sits outside the 365 tenant therefore are the specific IP's that we need to whitelist from the REST API server? If so we need to know which ones in order to allow the inbound connection.

Re: Action 'HTTP' failed

Hi,

Thanks Kris, I'll go throught the link and advise.

I have created a Flow that is triggered when an item is created on a SharePoint list, this step works no issues, the next action is to call a restful API (http://xxx:1380/SM/9/rest/incidents) using HTTP action , this is where I’m stuck cause the HTTP action returns an error message “The provided host name could not be resolved”, I tried replacing my hostname with the IP address but this did not help as the Operator complains with invalid URI.

When using postman or soap UI, I’m able to call the API no issues, I only experience this error message when using MS Flow action HTTP operator.

my values
Method : POST
URI : http://03xxx:13080/SM/9/rest/incidents or http://172.20.25.1:13080/SM/9/rest/incidents
Headers: Content-Type : application/json
Body : my json(name value pairs)

Hi @Anonymous,

Could you please share a full screenshot of your flow's configuration?
Further, could you please show a bit more about your HTTP action?

The error message told that the host name that you provided in the "HTTP" action could not be resolved. Please check if you have filled proper request URL within Uri field of "HTTP" action.

More details about the "HTTP" action, please check the following article:
Get started with the HTTP action

Best regards,
Kris
