Sending a custom Action and getting the following Actions failed for "http" and "timed out"

[wen26]

We have configured the custom action with basic authentication, to send SMS using third-party tools, but when we use them in Journey, we get an HTTP error and Timed Out.
As the following image shows:

what could be the reason?

@wen26, were any requests you made through custom action succeeded or all of them failed? Do you see requests reaching third-party SMS systems?

Hello @wen26 

Could you please share more details on the error codes? Also, does your endpoint require any kind of IP address whitelisting?
