Posted on by Community member

Hello everyone,
I'm relatively new to the Dynamics world and currently facing a challenge. I've created a new custom connector with OAuth 2.0 and successfully added some connections to it. Now, my goal is to execute an action of the custom connector using C# code. Is this possible, and if so, how can I achieve it?
After successfully calling the API and obtaining the response, my next step is to send this response to a PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) component to display the data. Any guidance or assistance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi ,

Yes you can call the custom connector using C# as shown in below code snippet:

static async Task CallConnector(string accessToken) { // Construct HTTP request var request = new HttpRequestMessage { Method = HttpMethod.Post, RequestUri = new Uri("https://URLofyourconnector/action"), Headers = { { "Authorization", $"Bearer {accessToken}" }, { "Accept", "application/json" }, // Add other required headers if needed }, }; var response = await httpClient.SendAsync(request); if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode) { // Process successful response var responseBody = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); Console.WriteLine($"Response: {responseBody}"); } else { Console.WriteLine($"Error: {response.StatusCode}"); } }

Now, to pass this response to PCF control, You need to setup a bound parameter and from C# code set that bound parameter. But PCF Control need to refresh manually to get the record.

But I would suggest if you want to use response in PCF control then directly call the action inside PCF control.

Thank You,
