Installing the Power Platform connector

Install the connector

There are two ways to deploy the Power Platform connector:

• Certified connector
• Custom connector

Certified connector

No installation is necessary: simply look for Dime.Scheduler in your work environment, be that a Power App, Power Automate or Logic Apps flow. If it's the first time you use the connector, you need to create a connection.

Custom connector

• Clone this repo or download the repo as a ZIP file to your work station.

• In the src directory, run the following paconn command:

  paconn create --api-prop apiProperties.json --api-def apiDefinition.swagger.json --icon icon.png

• If the connector already exists, you may want to run this command:

  paconn update --api-prop apiProperties.json --api-def apiDefinition.swagger.json

• Follow the instructions in the terminal. You'll need to select an environment, and when updating a connector, select the connector to overwrite the changes.

  note

  You may have to login, which you can do by running paconn login and follow the instructions in the terminal.

• To validate the OpenAPI definition, run the following command in the src directory:

  paconn validate --api-def apiDefinition.swagger.json

Creating a connection

When the connector has been added to your environment, you should create a connection. These variables are essential to the link between the Power Platform and Dime.Scheduler:

Parameter	Value
Dime.Scheduler URI	This needs to be the base URI of your Dime.Scheduler instance, that is publicly accessible.
E-mail address	The e-mail address of the Dime.Scheduler user that has sufficient rights to insert data into the solution.
Password	The password of said user
