Here is a snippet from my e-book: PL-500: Microsoft Power Automate RPA Developer Study Guide – The Essential Companion now available here. 

Section: Design solutions (25-30%)

Subsection: Determine how to interact with an application targeted for automation

Topic: Verify access to target applications

Suggested Approach:

To verify access to target applications in Power Automate, you can:

Check your credentials:

Make sure you have valid credentials for the target application. You may need to enter your username and password in Power Automate or use an authentication method such as OAuth.

Test connection:

Use the "Test connection" button in the "Configuration" section of the action to verify that Power Automate can connect to the target application. This will check if the credentials you provided are correct and if the target application is accessible.

Check permissions:

Verify that your user account has the necessary permissions to access the target application and perform the actions you want to automate. This may involve checking with the application's administrator or reviewing the application's documentation.

Use application-specific tools:

Some applications provide their own tools for verifying access and troubleshooting issues. Check the application's documentation or contact support to see if such tools are available.

Check firewall and network settings:

If the target application is hosted on-premises or in a private network, check your firewall and network settings to ensure that Power Automate can access the application.
