Dataflow to dataverse table

[jaya80980]

Hi All,

We have  a salesforce API.

It returns some kind of data (in JSON)

Using that data , I have to create records in table in dataverse and show in model driven application?

How should I approach the use case? Any help here is highly appreciated.

I understand custom connectors and flow but I am struggling to tie up these things together to match my use case.

Pls help 🙂

Can you try using a Dataflow for the Dataverse table instead of Power Automate? 

You would go into Power Apps, Select Dataverse, Dataflows, Create a Dataflow, Set up connection to Sales force, format data for table with power query, create the table, run the dataflow.

The Dataflow will run how you set it up in power query. The benefit is that it can update or delete rows each time it refreshes depending on how you set it up.

I've never done anything with sales force or Dataflows to external connections. However, I have set up Dataflows to update tables in Dataverse. You can schedule the Dataflow refresh directly when you create it. Or you can create a Power Automate flow that triggers a Dataflow refresh.

Hi @wskinnermctc 

Thanks much for the reply

I have 2 APIs -

API 1 : returns an access token

I have to pass that API token in API 2 's header 

And then API 2 returns a JSON Data.

In this case how do I handle ? Because I have to pass the token (output of API 1) to header of API 2

I'm not sure what you mean by API, like is that an output from a step? 

You might need to use the "Parse JSON" action to first parse out the results of API 1 and then use the value into the API 2.

Hi  wskinnermctc.

Can you detail the steps in power apps please as I am unable to select a dataverse then dataflow in power apps. Is this a settup, licencsing issue, or the trigger changed names?
