SAP Custom Connector

In this step we will create a custom connector to SAP on Power Apps. Custom connectors are used when you have a specific data source for which you know how to handle the requests. In this example we will use a premade example for the SAP Gateway Demo System (configured on the setup phase, section 4 - in case you skipped this step, please stop and create your access to the SAP Gateway Demo).

The steps required are:

  1. Go to Office.com.
  2. Click on the 9 dots Icon on the Top Left
  3. Select Power Apps (it can also be found under All Apps) Powerapp
  4. In Power Apps, expand Data and click on Custom Connectors. Select New Connector and pick the Import from Github option Powerapp
  5. Select Custom, branch master and Connector SAP-ODATA-DEMO Powerapp
  6. Rename it to SAPGWDEMO, check the parameters and click on Security Powerapp
  7. Make sure we are using Basic Authentication and click Definition Powerapp
  8. This connector has already some preconfigured interfaces. Feel free to explore then to understand how it handles API calls and click on Create Connector to proceed. Powerapp

Now you should have a custom connector configured, allowing you to access SAP Gateway ODATA APIs thru your Power App. On the next section we will create an App to use this data.
