Images from Text s via Custom Connector


A Power Platform custom connector allows users to connect to a web service or API that isn’t available as an in-built or premium connector in Power Automate, Power Apps, or Power BI. Custom connectors provide a way to describe the necessary configuration to connect to a service and describe the operations that the service supports. When you create a custom connector, you define the output of the operations that the custom connector performs.
