Hi,

 

I have a customapi that can connect to my odata. PowerApps is using customapi and working well. Now, i need to use MS Flow (http) from PowerApp (only can use http). PowerApp can call customized flow. The problem is how can i pass customapi authenication to MS Flow Http authenication. Currently i did hard code on Http authenication(Basic or Bear) for development stage. I can't hard code it for production stage. My system has user action log activity if i hard code the user, user activity log are wrong. My question is how can i pass/get the credential from custom api to http authenication?
Note: I can only use Basic or Bear authenication for http authenication.

 

HTTP Authenication

Thanks

    Do you want to get the credentials from Custom APIs to HTTP authentication via PowerApps?
    Yes. But not only from PowerApps. Flow itself also. Eg. If I use my customerapi at flow, all of http credentials can be read from my can be apply from my customerapi. My.customerapi.(‘user’) like this.

    Second approach is currently I use. But that’s temporary solution. Because App is already connect customerapi and I can use customerapi from flow without re-keyin the user name and password again . But http part needs to be key in username and password. It doesn’t make sense, it should be able to read from connections. My be there has function but I can’t find it. This a reason why asking here.

    Thanks for your response.

    Hi @yukonn,

     

    Do you want to get the credentials from Custom APIs to HTTP authentication via PowerApps?

    It seems that your flow is triggered by a PowerApps button.

    On PowerApps, I assume that you could add two labels for Username and Password, then use the corresponding dynamic content for each field.

    Please take a try with it.

     

    Best regards,
