Power Automate errors / Connectivity

HTTP request failed: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond.

platform: Power Automate / category: Connectivity

Cause

The HTTP action could not establish a TCP connection within the timeout, typically because the host is unreachable, firewalled, or slow.

Fix

Verify the target URL is publicly reachable and not firewall-blocked; whitelist Power Automate outbound IPs if behind a corporate firewall. Confirm the endpoint supports TLS 1.2+. Configure a custom retry policy and higher timeout on the HTTP action. For on-premises endpoints, use the on-premises data gateway.
