While Power Automate and Power Apps offer more than 1,000 connectors to connect to Microsoft and verified services, you might want to communicate with services that aren't available as prebuilt connectors.

Custom connectors address these scenarios by allowing you to create (and even share) a connector with its own triggers and actions and to expand extensibility of Business Central using Microsoft Power Platform.

A custom connector in Microsoft Power Platform is a wrapper around a REST API that allows Power Automate, Power Apps, or Microsoft Copilot Studio to communicate with that REST API. Connectors created in Power Automate are available in Power Apps and Copilot Studio. Likewise, connectors created in Power Apps are available in Power Automate and Copilot Studio.
