Hello everyone.
I am creating a MS Team canvas application and I have created a custom connector to get API data and want to display it in the Team canvas app.
I created the custom connector and after that I created an app in teams but in the data source I don't see my custom connector which I created. I also don't see an option to create a new custom connect in teams.
My question is, how do I add my custom connector in teams or create a new custom connector directly in teams?
If there is no option available, how can I get API data and show it in teams application?
It sounds like you're facing a bit of a challenge with integrating your custom connector into your Teams canvas app. Let's break down the steps to help you out:
Upload to Org's App Catalog: To make your custom connector available in Teams, you need to upload it to your organization's app catalog. Once uploaded, users within your organization can install, configure, and use the connector in a team.
Using Power Automate: If direct integration isn't possible, you can use Power Automate to create a workflow that fetches data from your API and posts it to Teams. This method provides a scalable and secure approach to transmit data programmatically into and out of Teams.
API-based Message Extensions: You can create an API-based message extension to fetch and display data from external services within Teams. This method supports search commands and can streamline workflows by reducing the need to switch between applications.
Dashboard Tab Apps: Build a dashboard tab app using Teams Toolkit. This allows you to integrate multiple data sources and display content from apps and services within your dashboard tab.
