Q: Can I build a connector without REST APIs?
A: No, to build a connector, you must support stable HTTP REST APIs
for your service.
Q: What tools can I use to create a connector?
A: Azure has capabilities and services that
you can use for exposing any service as an API,
such as Azure App Service for hosting, API Management, and more.
Q: What authentication types are supported?
A: You can use these supported authentication standards:
- OAuth 2.0, including Azure Active Directory or specific services, such as Dropbox, GitHub, and SalesForce
- Generic OAuth 2.0
- Basic authentication
- API Key
Q: Can I build triggers without webhooks?
A: No, custom connectors for Azure Logic Apps and Microsoft Flow
support only webhook-based triggers.
If you want to request other patterns for implementation,
contact [email protected]
with more details about your API.
Q: I'm not a Microsoft partner or Independent Software Vendor (ISV).
Can I still create connectors?
A: Yes, you can register these connectors for internal use in your organization, but if you want to certify and publicly release a connector,
you must either own the underlying service or present explicit
rights to use the API.
Q: My APIs use a dynamic host. How do I implement them with OpenAPI?
A: Custom connectors don't support dynamic hosts.
Instead, use a static host for development and testing purposes.
If you want to certify your connector,
ask your Microsoft contact about dynamic implementation.
Q: Do you support Postman Collection V2?
A: No, only Postman Collection V1 is currently supported.
Q: Do you support OpenAPI 3.0?
A: No, only OpenAPI 2.0 is currently supported.
