Custom API fails to load data on form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi All, 

 

Try to test a connecting to an azure function. Everything is good until i try to use the connection on the form. Receive an error that "The Data returned in the response is invalid". I am using the default azure functions test function to try and pull in name to a field. The test of the function in power apps succeeds but not on the form. Any help with why it failes out on the form but not on the test conections or suggestions on troubleshooting would be appreciated. Swagger file below -

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Could you share more details on Form? Is it an EditForm on PowerApps?

    How is your flow created? Please share more a screenshot of your flow?

    Please make sure the corresponding response has been defined. Please check the doc on Connector definition for more details:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/custom-connectors/define-blank#create-the-connector-definition

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel

    Hi Mabel, 

     

    I was trying to follow an older article - 

    https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/building-a-custom-api-for-powerapps-using-azure-app-service-web-apps/

     

     

     

    the test for the connector succeeds but fails when being used in the form 

     

    https://brakepartsinc-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/p/kevin_oliver/ESE58MWqrMRDiARhRGbBPSQBJk8CwTHrTLXpj_dktEGFxw?e=kPWeGf

     

    The form has 2 text fields and a button, the button calls the function (UpdateContext({varOutput:BarCodeGenerator.RunThis(TextInput1.Text)}) ) Then the varOutput is set to the second text field. This all works fine with a static value, but fails when trying to call the RunThis() function from azure
