Im sorry if something similar is asked elsewhere, with a quick search I couldn't find the answer.
At my organization, we use Microsoft for pretty much everything. I.e. Teams/Power Bi/Outlook/etc...
Previously, I've connected Power Bi to Redcap using the API, looks like this:
Well, my colleague and I have a public facing redcap survey setup for people in our organization to place "tickets" with us. They need tech support, etc... place a ticket. It creates a redcap record and we can go look at it.
Separately, we also use MS Teams and it's built in tasks and planner to keep track of things we're working on. Looks like this:
Well, I'm starting to dig into the possibility of combining the two. Namely, if someone placed a ticket in Redcap, using the redcap API to port that over to Teams.
There's going to be a LOT of things to figure out about this, more than this question will allow, but for now I'm trying to figure out one thing.
I'm struggling with the http request in MS Flow. Here are the options:
I've no idea what to plug in where. I see in the Redcap API playground it mentions POST here:
But not sure how I plug that in. Any ideas or experience?
Obviously they'll be steps to do AFTER I connect such as parsing the results etc... but those would be for a different question. For now I just want to connect.
Thank you. I'll look into it.
Hi @JoeCrozier,
Yes, you are correct. Unfortunately, that one is premium.
As far as I am aware there is no HTTP type of action available within Power Automate cloud flows (which is non-premium) which can connect to third-party services.
Alternatively, you could try and use a desktop flow instead. That might be an option?
Power Automate desktop flows have a Invoke web service action which is non-premium: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/actions-reference/web
Ah! Thank you. That said, I BELIEVE the http connector you show is a premium one? (I think, im not looking right this second). If thats the case do you know if theres a non-premium alternative?
Hi @JoeCrozier,
The Send an HTTP request you are currently using is specifically for Graph API resources. In this case you want to connect with the Redcap API endpoints. In that case I would suggest to use the HTTP connector.
Have a look at this documentation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/http-connectors/1-introduction
Can you try something like the example below (in your case you want to add more keys and values to the Queries section)
