Custom Connector Deployment

In continuation to my previous blog on custom connector. Here is the blog on how to deploy connector to a new environment.

To move custom connectors from one environment to another. We have to perform 3 different actions.

1.       Adding connectors to Solutions.

2.       Exporting solutions 

3.       Importing solutions in new environment.


Click here to visit Power Automate Portal. Login with admin user credentials.


        •    Click on the “Solutions” tab on the left panel. Please refer image below.



 


































 

Note: Custom connectors created outside solutions cannot be added to solutions at this time.

 

Adding a connector to a solution

To add Custom Connector to Solutions below steps are to be followed.


•       Click on New Solution on top ribbon. Enter necessary details like solution name, version and so on and click on “Create” button.

 



































•       You should be able to see the newly created solution on the top. You can click and open it.

•       Click on “New” on the top ribbon and select “others” from the sub menu and select “Custom Connector”.



 

















•       You will now be redirected to a new tab with Connector Designer page.

•       Create your desired connector and click on Update connector on top right corner.

•       Once the connector is created you can visit previous tab and click on the “Done” button in popup.



 












•       You should be seeing your newly created connector on top of the solutions window.

 

Exporting a Solution

•       You can now see all the solutions that are imported to earlier.

•       Click on the eclipse icon (…) besides your solution name and click on “Export”.

•       You can now see a new window with “Before you Export” title.

•       Click on “Publish” if you have made any changes in this flow.

•       Click on “Run” to check if any issues exist.

•       Click on “Next”.


 































•       You can now see “Export this Solution” screen.

•       Specify your desired version number.

•       Select “Managed” radio button and click on export. You can see a .zip file downloading.

                 

Importing solutions to new environment

•       You already have the zip filed solution.

•       Click on “Import” from the top ribbon. 
 


 

•       You will now see a popup to choose the solution file that you downloaded earlier.

•       Click “Next” and then click on import.

Some time back i tried to implement Angularjs with SharePoint. To be frank Angularjs is just awesome. You can have flawless feel while working with it. I don't know how will i manage to work with Angularjs in huge projects but i found it really really good to work with single page applications. Let's have a look to the classic definition of Angularjs that you find when you google for Angularjs. Angularjs "AngularJS is a structural framework for dynamic web apps. It lets you use HTML as your template language and lets you extend HTML's syntax to express your application's components clearly and succinctly.
