Flow connector to to Wordpress.ORG

[TheBradMenendez]

Hi all,

     Newer to flow and have seen that the basic Wordpress connector in flow is for wordpress.com sites, not .org sites. Has anyone build a custom connector? I started digging in to try but have been have minimal luck and was hoping I could find someone to guide me on this journey!

Thanks for your time!!!

Hi Alice @v-alzhan-msft ,

     I tried to walk through the process of creating a custom connector, though I really could use some assistance on how to do it from step 1 because I don't know that my host is even correct, and from there step 2 is security and I'd think i need an API Key from my custom wordpress theme but not sure how to get that either.

Because of my inexperience with both API's and Creating Custom Connectors, I can't trust that any of the 3 steps in the Flow custom connector are remotely setup properly.

Thanks,

Brad

Did you get it working in the end? I also need help with this!

I am working on a custom connector to our Wordpress site.

So far I am able to list posts and pages and some other basic items surfaced using the standard Wordpress API.
I have a PowerApp that shows the list.

No Posts yet but that's my next step.
The only issue is getting the author name, this is normally obtained by using the _embed extender but I haven't figured out how to use that without breaking the connector.
Alternatively a lookup could be used in the code but then it gets complicated.
If anyone else is working on this I would be happy to share my findings.

Probably a blog post soon.

This sounds amazing! Unfortunately I'm a total noob, so I can't really help you lol. But I'll sure read your blog! 🙂

So keen to read that blog post if you manage to get it working! 😛
