# Podcast Approval application using Microsoft Power Apps
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before getting started, ensure that you have access imported the application into your Power Apps environment. Follow the detailed guidelines [here](https://github.com/user/repo/src/PowerApps/README.md)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Create a custom connector
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Custom connectors](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/custom-connectors/) are a powerful way to connect to any existing API from within PowerApps. A custom connector is a wrapper around a REST API that allows the Power Platform to communicate with your REST API.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From within Azure API Management, you can easily create such custom connectors. [Follow the detailed guidelines](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/export-api-power-platform) on how to export your API from API Management.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Connect your Podcast Approval application with your web API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open your Podcast Approval App within Power Apps:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will see a lot of error messages within your Power App:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To fix these, we will have to add our custom connector to our Power App via the data tab:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Note: Search for the name of your custom connector created via API Management.*
|
||
|
|
*Note: If you have enabled subscription keys. You can find the subscription key within the Azure Portal in your API Management instance under Subscriptions.*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Update your Power App
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Next, we have to update our Power App via the Power Editor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## OnStart
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Every time someone opens up the Power App, we want to make an API call getting us the information about current requests. For this we have to change our [OnStart behavior](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/power-fx/reference/object-app) for the Power App. We need to update **'.NETPodcasts'.GetUserSubmittedFeeds()**:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additional Information:
|
||
|
|
- **'.NETPodcasts'** is referencing the name of our custom connector
|
||
|
|
- **GetUserSubmittedFeeds()** is referencing our API's method name
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Refresh Button
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We also implemented a refresh button, for this we also have to update **'.NETPodcasts'.GetUserSubmittedFeeds()**:
|
