Dataverse Accelerator plug-ins fail when Connection references are used

I’m facing an issue with the Dataverse Accelerator app: I can create and use Instant and Automated Plug-ins, but only if I don’t use Connection references. When I create an Instant plug-in that uses a Connection reference (in this case, MSN Weather), an error is thrown stating “RuntimeConnectorContext is missing from service provider”. This error also occurs when I call the Plug-in as Unbound action in a Flow or as Environment.plug-in in Power Apps.

To avoid using currently unsupported connectors, I’m using the example plug-in described in this Microsoft Learn article and the great YouTube video by Nathan Rose that uses the same example.

It seems to me that the problem is related to the Accelerator app, as the same Connection reference can be used in Power Automate and Power Apps without any issues.

However, I’m not sure if this error is due to the preview status of the app or if I’m making a mistake somewhere.

I’ve encountered this issue with all used Connection references in two different tenants. Both tenants are based in Europe, but the environments used (Production and Developer) are in the US and Europe.

It would be really great if someone could throw an eye on it - I'm really at a loss.

I'm having the exact same problem!

Please let us know if you find a solution. It probably is because it's still in Preview but I need to use this!

I have the same exact issue since day one.

Never trust the low code plugin, throw it to the bin.

It forced me to code c# plugin to do what i need to do and now I can complete the requirement in a much higher standard, forget about this garbage low code plugin when you can just do everything perfectly in slightly more effort.

Hi Stevieed,

I come from a conventional coding background and our business moved to low-code no code Power Platform. I would rather have the Accelerator option as this would be easier to maintain and other junior developers can assist with changes.

But yes I agree writing the plugin yourself will get the exact business logic you need 🙂

I disagree. C# plugins have way too much overhead compared to this new low-code approach especially if you plan to implement a plethora of plugins.

I'm not sure if it's because of this, but since today it works for me in the environments where the database version has been updated to 9.2.23105.00250.
