Connectors make it easier to use the API from apps and flows
When the service or API that you want to use doesn't have a prebuilt connector
If a prebuilt connector doesn't expose all triggers and actions that you need from the
API

You can define the custom connector to describe any REST API that is
public (one that is available on the internet) or private (one that is only
on your internal network).

For Power Apps and Power Automate to discover what triggers and
actions are available from the API, you must identify them when you
create your custom connector

DEMO
Request
• You learned how authentication works to create a connection by using a custom connector and
the connector that is authenticating to the underlying API.
• Custom connectors provide a flexible framework for supporting different types of API
authentication
• When you configure authentication for a custom connector, the connector runtime manages the
authentication process.
This module explores using policies with custom connectors and explains how you can configure them
by using policy templates.
You can use policies to perform data conversion, route requests, set parameter values,
and more.
Use custom code to implement advanced transformation of the input and output of a connector’s
actions
Use custom code (C#) to implement advanced transformation of the input and output
of a connector’s actions
By implementing custom code, the logic takes over complete control of the request
and response transformation as well as invoking the operation on the underlying
service
