Oct Power Apps User Group (virtual) Meetup: Getting Started with Power Apps and Creating Custom Connectors

[chass]

For October, the Vancouver Power Apps User Group has two often requested topics.

• How to get started (from bare metal) creating applications with Power Apps
• 3 ways to create Power Apps custom connectors

How to get started (from bare metal) creating applications with Power Apps

This may seem like a strange topic, a year into running this user group but with the incredible growth of Power Apps there is a lot of people looking to onboard and even for companies that have been using Power Apps for a while it is a common need to create “sand box” tenants for doing things like testing, using admin features you typically don’t have access to or in the most common scenario: Training.

This session will start from creating a new Office Tenant, creating new Users in bulk and where to find training to get your entire company up to speed.

3 ways to create Power Apps custom connectors

This presentation Power Apps MVP Danish Naglekar, will walk us through 3 ways to create your custom connectors. First will create a custom connector from scratch, second using Postman Collection and last will be using Open API file.
