Developing Custom Connectors for the Power Platform, and other extensions
PowerApps and Microsoft Flow make it possible to quickly customize Dynamics 365, Office 365, and standalone apps without writing code – but that doesn’t mean you’re limited to point and click. Learn how to go beyond the tooling to solve more sophisticated scenarios and empower citizen developers by building custom connectors to integrate directly with your own services; extend the server-side logic of the Common Data Service with code plugins, web hooks, and more; extend the user experience of model-driven apps with web resources and the new PowerApps Control Framework.
PowerApps, Microsoft Flow and Power BI: Discover the power of the platform at work!
