From YouTube: Building your first Power Platform community connector

Description

In this 14-minute developer-focused demo, Daniel Laskewitz delivers a brilliant lay-of-the-land connector overview. Her advises learning by looking at configurations of existing connectors, of code samples, and by reviewing best practices documentation. Build your connector in the UI - naming, security (authentication requirement), definition (actions, triggers, references, responses…), code, and test operations. Then download it - the swagger or Open API file, using Paconn CLI. This PnP Community demo is taken from the General Microsoft 365 Development Special Interest Group (SIG) - Bi-weekly sync call recorded on August 19, 2021.
