    If you are not Power Platform or Microsoft 365 admin, you need to raise a request for Policy change

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    1. Identify Which Connectors Are Causing Violation

    In Power Automate Portal:

    Open the flow run details

    Look at the error message — it will mention which connectors violated DLP.

    Example:

    “The flow violates a DLP policy. The connectors [Outlook] and [HTTP] are in different data groups.”

     
     

    2. Possible Fix Options

    Option A: Redesign the Flow (Most Common)

    • Replace or remove conflicting connectors

    • Example: Replace Gmail with Outlook or use Microsoft Teams instead of Slack

    • Use only connectors from the same DLP group

    • Tip: You can find the connector groups in Power Platform Admin Center if you have admin access, or ask your admin.



    •  


     

    Option B: Request DLP Policy Change (Admin Only)

    If the connectors are justified and needed for your use case:

    Contact your Power Platform / M365 admin
    Request to move the required connector (e.g., HTTP, Gmail) into the same DLP group

    OR create a separate environment with less restrictive DLP (used for dev/test)


    Option C: Use Azure or API Gateway (Workaround)

    If admin won’t change policy:

    • You can move the "Non-Business" logic into Azure Functions, Logic Apps, or APIs

    • Call them using HTTP from a Business-only flow

    • Since HTTP is often "blocked," you'd need admin to allow it or run the logic outside Power Automate
