Actionable messages now erroring with "Target URL is not allowed"

Hi There,
 
We have a few power automate flows that use the "Send email with options" to retrieve an approve or reject response from the user the email is sent to. About 2 weeks ago, there was no issues with any of our flows, users could hit the button in the actionable message and it would submit the response and the flow would continue based on the response.
 
These flows are typically set up as:
  • When a new response is submitted
  • Send email with options to approver
  • User approves and submitter gets an email saying that request has been approved.
 
However now, when those actionable messages are sent, any user who gets them is getting "Target URL is not allowed", and the only way around it is to use the old HTML style buttons. We don't want to use this as a fix though.
 
I want to know if there have been any recent changes to power automate flows using actionable messages, and what the fix could be? I added the Actionable Messages Debugger add-in to Outlook and checked  the URL used for the approve and reject buttons, and then added it to the Actionable Email Developer Dashboard as a new provider, but I thought this was only for custom actionable messages or using your own azure application, and I'm not even sure the approve or reject URLs are even considered the Target URLs.
