Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello,

since weeks i try to create a power app which interacts with business central, but i can't get it to work. 😞

I would like to create a custom connector and a power app that interacts directly with the CustomConnector Business Central.

- Extension for BC I have created
- Custom Connector I have also created

But I have no success with the Power App ...

Now I have watched the video here (How to create a Power App with Dynamics 365 Business Central), at minute 28:07 the Custom Connector is introduced, and at minute 30:05 the Canvas App is introduced, but it is already finished in the video, so I don't understand where the data in the app is from.

In the video, in the treeview there is a VehiclesGallery which has no DataSource assigned but a collection (Vehicles).

On the main screen of the OnVisible Trigger there is the following assignment:
UpdateContext({Vehicles:TestVehicles.get("Company GUID"})

here TestVehicles is the name of the CustomConnector, so the Connector uses the Get function to get the data and fill the Collection vehicles.

Why can't I understand the example? The API i have is ok, the Custom Connector is ok too, which steps do I have to do in Power Apps?

What I try: Create PowerApp Canvas, Blank, then insert a Gallery,then try update context
and then I can't get any further. Is there perhaps still a detailed manual?

Thanks a lot

(sad greetings)
