Hey Yannick,
Thank you for presenting action triggers today. Is there a link or a video showing step by step process to implement this. This is my first time trying this feature and a demo video or a guide will be helpful.

@YannickR it would be great to see more step by step on this as above? Are you able to do this at all? I love this solution and its a game changer for my project scoping.

@ChaitraKashyap @JasonLane I'm very sorry but I don't have any more detailed steps around this.
Essentially, it comes down to these steps:
Create a Custom Web API, docs at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/data-platform/custom-api?WT.mc_id=M365-MVP-5003400
It can either be Bound or Unbound.
Call your Custom Web API:
With the action in Power Automate
Through C# code in a plugin (or other external code)
By calling the REST API
Using the new experimental Environment object in Canvas Apps
Create a flow that uses the "When an Action is performed" trigger, and configure it to "listen" to your Custom Web API
I hope this makes it a bit more clear.
