Learn says to go to the "Data" option in Power Apps or Power Automate. CoPilot says this too. ONE PROBLEM. THERE IS NO DATA OPTION. Does anybody know how to get to the custom connector wizard to create a new custom connector?

How to create custom connector?

I spent over an hour looking for a way to access my Custom Connectors until I found this post by chance.
What's going on here? Has nobody noticed this yet?

I've just seen a “Discover More” button in the More menu (I didn't notice it before). This opens a large selection of menu items that can be pinned. Among others also.... tataa... Custom connectors!

Seriously, I can't believe this. It's like something out of a bad movie

How to create custom connector?

OK, I answered this myself. If you can BELIEVE IT, you have to MANUALLY create the URL to reach the Custom Connector page because neither "Data" nor "Custom Connectors exists on the left pane in Power Apps or Power Automate. SOMEHOW I got it to appear, not sure how but this is the trick.

Go to your environment Home, which will be a URL like this:

https://make.powerapps.com/environments/[GUID]/home

Then simply replace "home" with "customconnectors" and MAGICALLY, the Custom Connectors option will appear on the left hand pane!

What is going on Microsoft???
