Email with options action gives 'Target URL not allowed'

Question

Hi!

I have set up a Logic App that is supposed to send an email with functional buttons to collect responses.

When a user tries to click on the buttons, the message "Target URL not allowed" appears.

I’ve tried setting up the Actionable Email Developer Dashboard in Outlook, but I’m not sure what to enter in the Target URL field. I am trying to set this up for test users.

I’ve tried several endpoint URLs (from Logic App properties), but none seem to work. I have ensured that I’m using the correct sender and recipient addresses for testing.

Any tips on what I should try?

Answer 1

I managed to resolve it by creating the flow in a different geolocation than I would normally choose. So, it seems like there is a bug related to geolocation.
