I am trying to create a connection within web activity to trigger a REST API :
But getting the below error while using org account :
Unable to create connection using an organizational account, please check to see if the data source path is correct and that the data source supports using an organizational account.
So is there any document which states when all the org account cannot be used for creating a connection.
And when using SP auth, getting the below error :
Connection could not be created. This may mean it is not accessible from this network or at this URI, or that a gateway is required to access this data source
Solved! Go to Solution.
