Connectors created outside of a solution in your Microsoft Power Platform environment can now be imported to a solution, enabling existing custom connectors to be ALM-ready.
Feature details
Custom connectors must be packaged inside a solution for it to be fully ALM-ready. This allows the custom connector to be packaged and deployed through the various ALM tooling we provide for Microsoft Power Platform, as well as leverage features such as environment variable support.
Until now, customers couldn't import or add existing custom connectors to a solution, and instead had to create new custom connectors. Not only has this been inconvenient for users but has impacted existing apps and flows.
With this release, an existing custom connector can be added to a solution via API or through the maker portal, enabling the connector to be fully solution-aware and ALM-ready.
