Welcome to the Microsoft Power Platform Connectors open source repository. This repository contains custom connectors, certified connectors, and related tools to facilitate connector development for Azure Logic Apps, Microsoft Power Apps, and Microsoft Power Automate.
The custom-connectors folder contains fully functional connector samples which can be deployed to the Power Platform for extension and use. These samples may not be certified connectors, but should be maintained by the open source community to offer useful scenarios or examples of connector concepts.
The certified-connectors folder contains certified connectors which are already deployed and available out-of-box within the Power Platform for use.
A requirement of our connector certification program is that new certified connectors be open sourced for community contributions.
The certified-connectors folder is managed by the Microsoft Connector Certification Team to ensure that within the master branch, the connector version is identical to that deployed in the Power Platform.
The dev branch is maintained by the connector owner and the Microsoft Connector Certification Team to allow community development of the connector prior to certification and deployment of a version.

You are now ready to develop your connector in your own branch.
Contributions to the open source repository are made through pull requests.
Prior to submitting a pull request, ensure that your pull request does not contain any sensitive or specific information, for example Client IDs or Client Secrets.
Any sensitive values can be replaced with fake or dummy values for the purposes of submission as long as it is clearly indicated.
Also, ensure that the readme.md of the connector is updated with the latest information, or created for new connector submissions.
An example of a clear, structured, readme.md can be found in the Azure Key Vault connector repository.
Include this completed readme.md in same connector directory which contains the artifacts.
Updates to an existing custom connector can be made through a simple pull request to update the custom connector files.
For new custom connectors, create a directory under the custom-connectors directory and place the connector files in the sub-folder. Ensure that a clear, structured, readme.md is included.
Updates to certified connectors must first be made through a pull request to the dev branch for review by the connector owner.
Once a pull request has been merged to the dev branch, the connector owner can submit the connector for certification through the Connector certification tab in ISV Studio. Once certified, the Microsoft Certification team will handle merging the updates from dev to master.
Updates to an existing custom connector can be made through a simple pull request to the dev branch to update the custom connector files.
For new connectors which will be submitted for certification, create a directory under the certified-connectors directory, place the connector files in the sub-folder, and submit a pull request to the dev branch. Ensure that a clear, structured, readme.md is included.
When a pull request is submitted, a CLA-bot will automatically determine whether you need to provide a CLA and annotate the PR appropriately. Simply follow the instructions provided by the bot to ensure your pull request can be properly reviewed. You will only need to do this once across all repos using our CLA.
This project has adopted the Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct. For more information see the Code of Conduct FAQ or contact opencode@microsoft.com with any additional questions or comments.
A submitted pull request will also be validated against our Swagger Validator tool, which checks the connector files to ensure it is a proper Swagger file and adheres to our connector requirements and guidelines. Any errors or warnings will be added to the PR for both the submitter and the reviewer to understand. We do not accept pull requests with outstanding unresolved Swagger Validator issues.
Another validation which runs on a submitted pull request is the breaking changes validator. This is to catch any inadvertent, non-backwards-compatible (i.e. breaking) changes which may break a current user experience, for example, deleting a published operation. The Breaking Change Detector compares the previous version of the Swagger with the new submission and raises awareness of any breaking change. The submitter and reviewer must both acknowledge any breaking changes submitted and ensure that no end users are inadvertently negatively affected.
