Custom actions

Hi All,

 

Can I create custom actions in Power Automate? I can't find the one I need from the existing list including the premium ones. I want to create my own and call a 3rd party API.

 

Thanks

    To do this, you will want to have a flow with Request trigger and you would want to put some code on a button to call a HTTP URL.

     

    Here is a blog that showcases this:

    Not entirely sure if its the same on Power Pages, but in Power Apps you can specify a run command for a flow that uses a Power Apps trigger in a button's onSelect.  I assume it works the same in Power Pages.

    Hi @Jcook and @Pstork1 

     

    I now understand that I can use a create a custom connector or use HTTP action, but how do I start the flow? I want to make the API call whenever the user clicks a button on a power page site.

    To do that you create a custom connector.  In the connector you can define your custom action.  Here's an overview to get you started. Custom connectors overview | Microsoft Learn

    Hello @bssienes 

     

    You can use the HTTP action to call external APIs.

     

    If you would like to create a connector using an API you can also do that:
