Custom API 404 error

[aatalai]

Hi all

Looking to set up a custom API to be able use power automate tool on the server.

https://help.alteryx.com/20231/en/designer/tools/connectors/power-automate-tool.html#power-automate-...

When I press on the hyperlink on the page to take me to custom API application - I get a 404 error, wanted to know if anyone could help me find the link or help provide the required documentation?

I am 95% sure that  custom API application refers to a custom api application in power automate (and this is trying to explain how to get a clientid/client secret).

Maybe - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65617607/how-to-connect-custom-api-using-own-oauth2-in-microsoft...

The Alteryx page is trying to explain that you can't connect via SSO from Server.

Looking for this?  Power Automate Tool (alteryx.com)

@Gaurav_Dhama_ no - I believe he has the tool - the documentation in the Alteryx section on the tool makes it sounds like the custom app is on the Alteryx/Alteryx Server side. It is not - it is on the Power Automate side. To further confuse matters - there is a link on the page which does not work.

@apathetichell you're right found this https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/data-sources/set-up-custom-api-application/set-up-micro...

but that is for 2024.1 but we use 2023.1 (both server and desk top) so does anyone know if this documentation still holds? Or again where I could find it?

This the page for 2023.1, but when I click on https://help.alteryx.com/20231/en/designer/data-sources/set-up-custom-api-application.html

set up MS azure api I still get a 404 error

@aatalai That page would still be relevant the key takeway here is you must set up the custom app in Azure/Power BI  - not Alteryx. You must use that style connection vs a connect via browser when publishing to Server.

@apathetichell we spoke to our technical lead at Alteryx and you were right thanks - i.e the 2024.1 documentation still being valid
