Copy the install command and let the AI configure it · recommended for beginners
Please install the "add-connector" skill from askskill: 1. Download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/power-platform-skills/main/plugins/code-apps/skills/add-connector/SKILL.md 2. Save it as ~/.claude/skills/add-connector/SKILL.md 3. Reload skills and tell me it's ready
Help me add a Power Platform connector that does not have a dedicated skill yet to my Power Apps code app, and explain the required configuration steps and key considerations.
A setup plan for the connector, key configuration details, and guidance for using it in the code app.
I want to add a Power Platform connector for accessing an external data source in a Power Apps code app. Provide the integration method and explain authentication and permission setup.
A connector integration flow, recommended authentication options, and configuration guidance for data access.
When no dedicated skill exists, use the generic method to add the required Power Platform connector to my Power Apps code app and list the follow-up validation steps.
A generic connector integration approach with a checklist to verify the connection works correctly.
📋 Shared Instructions: shared-instructions.md - Cross-cutting concerns.
Fallback skill for any connector not covered by a specific /add-* skill. For common connectors, prefer the dedicated skills:
/add-dataverse -- Dataverse tables/add-azuredevops -- Azure DevOps/add-teams -- Microsoft Teams/add-excel -- Excel Online (Business)/add-onedrive -- OneDrive for Business/add-sharepoint -- SharePoint Online/add-office365 -- Office 365 Outlook (calendar, email, contacts)Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.
If $ARGUMENTS is provided or the caller already specified the connector, use it directly and skip the question below.
Otherwise, ask the user which connector they want to add. Browse available connectors: Connector Reference
Before proceeding, check if the connector has a dedicated skill. If it does, delegate immediately and STOP:
| Connector API name | Delegate to |
|---|---|
sharepointonline | /add-sharepoint |
teams | /add-teams |
excelonlinebusiness | /add-excel |
onedriveforbusiness | /add-onedrive |
azuredevops | /add-azuredevops |
office365 | /add-office365 |
commondataservice | /add-dataverse |
Invoke the appropriate skill with the same $ARGUMENTS and do not continue this skill's workflow.
Common connector API names:
sharepointonline, teams, excelonlinebusiness, onedriveforbusinessazuredevops, azureblob, azurequeuesoffice365, office365users, office365groupssql, commondataserviceFirst, find the connection ID (see connector-reference.md):
Run the /list-connections skill. Find the connector in the output. If none exists, direct the user to create one using the environment-specific Connections URL — construct it from the active environment ID in context (from power.config.json or a prior step): https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections → + New connection → search for the connector → Create.
# Non-tabular connectors (Teams, Azure DevOps, etc.)
npx power-apps add-data-source -a <connector-api-name> -c <connection-id>
# Tabular connectors (SharePoint, Excel, SQL, etc.) -- also need dataset and table
npx power-apps add-data-source -a <connector-api-name> -c <connection-id> -d '<dataset>' -t '<table>'
Parameter reference:
-a (apiId) -- connector name (e.g., sharepointonline, teams)-c (connectionId) -- required for all non-Dataverse connectors. Get from /list-connections.-d (dataset) -- required for tabular datasources (e.g., SharePoint site URL, SQL database). Not needed for Dataverse.-t (table) -- table/list name for tabular datasources (e.g., SharePoint list, Dataverse table logical name)After adding, inspect the generated files. Generated service files can be very large -- use Grep to find specific methods instead of reading the entire file:
Grep pattern="async \w+" path="src/generated/services/<Connector>Service.ts"
Files to check:
src/generated/services/<Connector>Service.ts -- available operations and their parameterssrc/generated/models/<Connector>Model.ts -- TypeScript interfaces (if generated).power/schemas/<connector>/ -- connector schema and configurationFor each method the user needs:
