Webhook op GP Service - Fout: Kan webhook niet aanmaken of bijwerken. URL is niet bereikbaar

ZachBodenner

Hallo, <\/P>

Ik heb moeite met een aangepaste afdrukservice die af en toe faalt\/time-outs geeft en ik wil uitzoeken hoe vaak dit gebeurt, dus ik dacht eraan om een webhook in te stellen die mij een e-mail stuurt wanneer het gereedschap draait. Ik werk bij de lokale overheid met Power Automate, Enterprise 11.5. Ik heb succesvol een paar PA-stromen opgezet op basis van Survey123-reacties, maar ik ben nog steeds niet erg vertrouwd met deze tool voor eigenlijk andere workflows. Voor zover ik begrijp, moet ik deze taak beginnen met de trigger 'When a HTTP request is received'. Dat heb ik gedaan en een tweede stap toegevoegd om de URL te genereren.<\/P>

<\/span><\/P>Vervolgens test ik die URL in mijn browser en vanaf de server waar de GP-service draait en krijg ik dit bericht:<\/P>{"error":{"code":"TriggerRequestMethodNotValid","message":"De HTTP-methode voor dit verzoek is niet geldig: verwacht 'POST' en daadwerkelijk 'GET'.","messageTemplate":"TriggerRequestMethodNotValid"}}<\/PRE>Wat volgens eerdere berichten een prima reactie is, toch?<\/P>Daarna ga ik naar mijn serverbeheerder en probeer de webhook aan te maken:<\/P><\/span><\/P> <\/P>Maar ik krijg de reactie: 'Fout <\/I><\/FONT>Kan webhook niet aanmaken of bijwerken. URL is niet bereikbaar: <POST URL from PA>'<\/FONT><\/P>Nog vrij nieuw met PA, dus alle hulp wordt gewaardeerd!<\/FONT><\/P>

Hi Zach,

The response you're getting when browsing to the Power Automate URL is actually a good sign. The message:
The HTTP method for this request is not valid: expected 'POST' and actual 'GET'
simply indicates that the endpoint is reachable and that Power Automate is listening, it just expects a POST request rather than a GET request.

The "URL is not reachable" error from ArcGIS Server typically means that during webhook creation, ArcGIS Server is unable to successfully validate or connect to the endpoint.

One common cause in on-premises ArcGIS Enterprise deployments is that the ArcGIS Server machine cannot establish an outbound HTTPS connection to the Power Automate endpoint. This may be due to a firewall, proxy configuration, SSL inspection, or outbound internet restrictions.

To help narrow it down, I'd recommend testing the connection directly from the ArcGIS Server machine using PowerShell:
Invoke-RestMethod `
-Uri "YOUR_POWER_AUTOMATE_URL" `
-Method POST `
-Body '{"test": true}' `
-ContentType "application/json"

This sends a POST request from the ArcGIS Server machine, similar to what ArcGIS Server does when firing a webhook.

What to expect:

If the request succeeds (for example, you receive a 200 or 202 response and your Power Automate flow is triggered), then the network path is working correctly and the issue is likely elsewhere.
If you receive a timeout or connection error, then the ArcGIS Server machine is likely unable to reach the Power Automate endpoint. In that case, it would be worth checking with your IT team whether outbound HTTPS (port 443), proxy settings, or access to the required Microsoft endpoints is being restricted.

In our environment, we encountered a similar challenge and ultimately hosted a small webhook receiver locally (a lightweight Python API behind IIS). That approach worked well because it kept all webhook traffic within our internal network and avoided dependencies on outbound internet connectivity. While that may not be necessary in your case, it's another option if external connectivity becomes a limiting factor.

I hope this helps! I'd be interested to hear what the PowerShell test returns, as that should give a much clearer indication of where the issue lies.

Kind regards,

Ola

Usually there is a middle-ware that handles the payload, I don't think you can go directly to from Survey123 or FieldMaps to ArcGIS Server?

Paste the payload URL provided by your external webhook service (e.g., Power Automate, Make, Zapier) into the field.

Thanks for the detailed response! So I ran the powershell command and I got an error that began: Invoke-RestMethod : {"error":{"code":"DirectApiAuthorizationRequired","message":"The OAuth authorization scheme is
required. Please add authentication scheme and try again."}}

So it turns out my issue was not so complicated as all that: I actually just had to change my authorized triggerer from anyone in my org, to just, anyone:

Now I'm not done with the whole thing yet, so I might have another question, but for now I'll mark your response as a solution!

Glad you got it working, Zach!

That makes sense. The "Anyone in my organization" trigger requires Microsoft Entra ID authentication, which ArcGIS Server doesn't provide when sending webhook requests. Changing it to "Anyone" is the right approach.

One thing to keep in mind: with the trigger set to "Anyone", the endpoint is publicly accessible. The URL itself is long and random, so it's unlikely someone would guess it, but if you want an extra layer of security,
you could configure a Signature Key/Secret when creating the webhook and validating it in your Power Automate flow for an extra layer of security.

Thanks for following up with the solution. It'll definitely help the next person who runs into the same issue.

Happy mapping!
Ola
