Hi Everyone!
I am struggling with a Power Automate task and I need some advices.
Just in a few words,
I am using Dynamics 365 CE Online and I have created a custom button, which send a Json Request to a Power Automate for business purposes.
Right now, I am using the “When a HTTP Request is received” trigger. The PA is working fine, but the ALM is very limited and I need to change my script each time I save my flow. That’s very time consuming and error-prone, as you can guess.
I want to create a custom connector to address that issue. It would be a basic one, that can be used as a trigger in flow. I just need it to have a URL and a basic Json Schema to work. That’s where I am a bit lost between all technologies (Swagger? Postman? I don’t really know where to begin!)
I just spent the whole morning looking for documentation and I am a bit lost. Would it be possible to help me on that issue, and give me a few advices on where to start and if I can do it alone as a D365 Consultant, or if I need to be a proper dev?
Many thanks for your help!
Best Regards,
Loïs
Hi,
Thanks both of you for the answers!
@abm You might be right, I will change the design of my flow so that it's not triggered by an HTTP request but by a flip. That would prevent me from using the "When an HTTP Request is received"
@laura-borbolla Thanks for the documentation, that's really helpful!
Thanks for your help !
Could you please explain more about the HTTP request you mentioned. Also you mentioned ALM is very limited and I need to change my script each time I save my flow.
You could have a hidden field and update the value (eg: Boolean Yes/No) when you click the button. Use the hidden field for the trigger of your Power Automate.
Thanks
