Custom connectors extend the capabilities of Power Apps, Power Automate, and Azure Logic Apps. There are multiple ways to create a custom connector, and unarguably the most straightforward way is to use an OpenAPI definition file or a Postman collection. But what if there's no OpenAPI definition or Postman collection available? Or simply put, you want to build a custom connector customized to the bone solely to support your needs.
This article will build a Power Apps custom connector from scratch with the help of resource API documentation. We'll create a connector for Power BI REST APIs for a handful of actions. However, the concept and steps should apply to every REST API out there.
Caution: Microsoft Azure, Power Apps, and Power BI are paid services, and following this article can cause financial liability to you or your organization.
