Custom API Trigger

Posted on by fabio533

I have registered in Flow/PowerApps some Custom API that act like actions, they all work fine.
Now I need to create a Custom API Trigger (something like the dropbox trigger in Flow 'When a file is created', etc) but I'm struggling.
First question, Is it possible to register a Custom API push Trigger in PowerApps/Flow (without azure/ logic apps account)?
I've seen this comment https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-api-dotnet-triggers/#comment-2562254357 that says that the only way to do a push trigger now is to use webhooks.
I created a test API trigger like in this project https://github.com/jeffhollan/LogicAppTriggersExample/blob/master/LogicAppTriggers/Controllers/WebhookTriggerController.cs but it wont show in 'Trigger' part of the 'Create new Flow': Custom API trigger issue - wont show as trigger.PNG
But shows like a normal action: custom action .
As you can see it is a simple example that dont use Microsoft ASP.NET WebHooks. Does it have to?
PowerApps dont recognize it as a Trigger, there is any solution?
Please show me the light.

Hello @fabio533 : Triggers are NOT supported for Custom APIs today. We are actively working on a feature that will allow users to define triggers, (both webhook based and polling) in the near future.

Hello Sunay,

Do you have any more information about this feature?

This is something that will be a big enabler for us, and would love to see this feature soon.

You mentioned webhook and polling, do you have a link to any more information on this new feature?

Cheers,
Matt

Is there any update on custom API trigger?
I see the example given as in case of Github. Can we create and use the webhook-trigger for our custom APIs like we do for actions?
