## Overview Since [WorkflowGen version 7.17](https://discuss.workflowgen.com/t/workflowgen-7-17-0/1559), you can easily create a custom connector for Microsoft Power Automate (Microsoft Flow) using the new [OpenAPI v2 endpoints](https://docs.advantys.com/workflowgen-integration-guide/incoming-webhooks#openapi-v2-endpoints). This connector will give you access to all WorkflowGen incoming webhook operations and will be simple to use in Microsoft Power Automate (Microsoft Flow). ### Example ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/workflowgen/original/1X/ae499016e65a5b74dcfbfe393ebd09784273d061.png) ## Implementation 1. Go to [flow.microsoft.com](http://flow.microsoft.com). From the left menu, click **Data** , then click **Custom connectors**. 2. In the right-hand corner, choose **New custom connector \> Import an OpenAPI from URL**. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/workflowgen/original/1X/aee07b77183a30e05ddf00a26876745e870bca47.png) 3. Set a connector name and paste the following URL: `https://YOUR_SERVER/wfgen/hooks/openapi/v2` 4. Click **Import** , then **Continue**. 5. You can set a connector icon and background color on the **General information** screen. 6. Click **Create connector**. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/workflowgen/original/1X/d681571cd6e9cb8755852bdb6295b2b1b2db4f7c.png) You can now use this custom connector in Microsoft Power Automate (Microsoft Flow). ---

For the step to setup custom connector, I got the following message: _We weren’t able to download the OpenAPI file from the provided URL. Please upload the file manually using the “Import from OpenAPI file” option._ ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/workflowgen/original/1X/78f1fd13a69f10c684afce1ee1d17dad8381b881.png) How can I get the OpenAPI file from WFG hooks path? Am I missing something? ---

Hello Kevin, You can go directly to the open API endpoint (WFGEN\_URL/wfgen/hooks/openapi/v2) and save the result as a file. We will check why the file can’t be downloaded automatically. ---

Thanks Quentin. Figure out why. WFG instance was not using https connection. I am able to get the OpenAPI file now but I need to set WFG to https in order to add it as custom connector ---

Hi, Is https a must to setup WFG hook custom connector? I tried exporting the openAPI file from wfgen/hooks/openapi/v2 and then import (to bypass https requirement). I was able to reach to the connector general page but when clicking on create connector I got the following error: Specified swagger has the following errors: 'Definition is not valid. Error: 'Error : paths/~1addApplicationParameter/post/parameters/0/schema/properties/args/properties/input/required : The required property ‘isRequired’ is not defined in the object schema. ’ ---

Hi Kevin, This is a known issue fixed in [7.19](https://discuss.workflowgen.com/t/workflowgen-7-19-0/).
