Unable to find the option to create Custom Connectors?

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 85

I have checked two tenants with several accounts, and the 'Data' menu item is no longer available, rendering the following instructions obsolete:

 

  1. Sign in to Power Apps or Power Automate.
  2. In the left pane, choose 'Data' > 'Custom connectors.'
  3. Select 'New custom connector' > 'Create from blank.'

Is it still possible to add a custom connector using the Maker Portal UI?

    Seems like it's moved. I found it by going to Power Automate. On the left ribbon click 'More'. Then on the pop-out shown below click 'Discover All'. This then opens a new page where you should be able to find custom connectors.

    You can then pin this to your ribbon, like I have done in this image.

    Thank you, @Forbs,

     

    I can confirm that I can also see this new User Experience in Power Apps as well as Power Automate. That said, I also see an error on the 'Custom connectors' page 😐

     

    Anyway, just to clarify, the steps from the left navigation are: More -> Discover over All -> a new screen opens, and then click on Custom connectors.

    Thanks, found this for power apps but if you are within MS Teams and trying to create a custom connector within a MS Team environment it's more work to find. You have to 'Open in Power Apps' - break out of teams.
