Property "" type mismatch, Expected: "object", Actual: "string".

I am attempting to create a custom connector using the make.powerapps.com portal.

I have tried exporting the OpenAPI(v2) schema from Azure API Management and importing that into the custom connector wizard. I have gone through and checked all of the validation messages on each screen.

However, when I get to the Test tab, I cannot seem to get any response to come through from my API calls. The schema validation for the response fails with 'Property "" type mismatch, Expected: "object", Actual: "string".'

I have also tried creating a custom connector manually, importing a postman collection and am having zero luck getting it to work. Sometimes I get the response schema validation error I mentioned when I test, other times I get back no response at all.

Has anyone tried creating a custom connector lately using the Power Apps portal and actually gotten it to work? If so, I would *love* to see a sample of something that does work or if someone knows how to fix the aforementioned error, I'm all ears. Otherwise to me, this functionality seems broken.

When you setup your connector are you passing in a subscription key, API key or some other form of authentication (what authentication are you using)? I was receiving that error until I passed in the appropriate key to authenticate who I was. At that point it started working fine. The message was frustrating and a bit vague, but once I found what I was missing that helped.

No, that wasn't it. I had the API key. I even tried just setting it to anonymous on the APIM side.

But I figured out my problem. Once I added "https://flow.microsoft.com" to the CORS policy of my APIM instance, everything started working.

Simply go to your API Management instance > All APIs:
Next, open the policy code editor:
Then add the URL under allowed origins:

HTH!
