Create simple connection failed.

I am trying to add the notification email to the end of my flow jobs.  Majority of the flow comes up with the same error.  See screenshot:

I do have an Outlook O365 connection in my list.

Hello @S_Tran 

These notifications are sent via the Power Automate App, is the App installed on your device?

Sorry as I am new to this Power Automate App.  After installing it on my desktop it's working!  Thanks!

I created the connection but it didn't work until I actually installed the Power Automate App on my desktop.  Now everything is working.  🙂

Hi,

I got the same problem. I created a customer connector and try to use it in my flow but I got this error: Create simple connection failed.

Need help.

Thanks,

I had to install the Power Automate App on my desktop for it to work.
