What you'll learn

Most useful APIs require authentication, and the Power Platform standard connector library can't cover every internal or third-party endpoint your team needs to integrate with. In this course, Using Power Automate Custom Connectors with Authenticated APIs, you'll gain the ability to deliver organization-ready custom connectors that flows can rely on. First, you'll explore how to design a connector definition from an OpenAPI 2.0 specification, including actions, triggers, request and response schemas, and the metadata that makes it look at home in the maker portal. Next, you'll discover how to wire up both API key and OAuth 2.0 authentication using Microsoft Entra ID, and how to choose between shared and per-user authentication patterns for a given security requirement. Finally, you'll learn how to package, share, and govern your connector across environments using managed solutions, deployment pipelines, DLP policies, and the Power Platform admin center. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of Power Automate custom connectors needed to ship and maintain authenticated API integrations the rest of your organization can trust.
