Introduction

In this article, we will explore how to integrate Jet DPT (Deep Purpose Transformer) directly into your Power Automate workflows. By creating a custom connector, you can automate flows and streamline your processes. We will guide you through the process step-by-step, starting from creating the custom connector to testing and using it in a Power Automate flow. So, let's get started with creating a custom connector in Power Automate.

1. Creating a Custom Connector in Power Automate

To Create a custom connector in Power Automate, follow these steps:

1. Go to the "Data" section and click on "Custom Connectors".
2. Click on "Create from blank" to start creating a new custom connector.
3. Give your custom connector a name, such as "Chat DPT", and click on "Continue".

2. Adding a Logo to the Custom Connector

To add a logo to your custom connector, follow these steps:

1. Go to Google and search for the desired logo of your custom connector.
2. Download the logo as a PNG file and save it on your desktop for easy access.
3. In the custom connector creation process, click on "Upload" and select the logo file You just downloaded.
4. Make sure to remove the gray borders around the logo by setting the icon background color to match the logo using a hexadecimal color code (e.g., #75ac9d).

3. Configuring API Authentication

To authenticate to the Jet DPT API, follow these steps:

1. Under the "Security" section of the custom connector creation process, select "API Key" as the authentication method.
2. Set the parameter label to "API Key" and the parameter name to "Authorization".
3. Specify the parameter location as "Header" and define the parameter value as "apikey".
4. Ensure that the parameter value is correct and matches the API key provided by Jet DPT.

4. Defining Actions and Operations

To define actions and operations in the custom connector, follow these steps:

1. Click on "New action" and provide a suitable name and description for the action you want to define.
2. Set the operation ID to identify the action internally (e.g., "Ask Chat GPT").
3. Configure the request by importing the request details from a sample or manually entering the required information.
4. Define the HTTP method for the API call (e.g., POST) and provide the URL endpoint for the Jet DPT API.
5. Specify the headers and body parameters Based on the API documentation provided by Jet DPT.
6. Click on "Import" to import the request details or fill in the parameters manually.

5. Setting Default Values for Parameters

To set default values for parameters in the custom connector, follow these steps:

1. Under the "Request" section, edit the content Type parameter and set the default value to "application/json".
2. Edit each parameter (e.g., Max Tokens, Model, Temperature) and set their default values based on your requirements.
3. Specify if a parameter is required or internal (not editable by users).
4. Save the changes and update the connector to Apply the default values.

6. Testing the Custom Connector

To test the custom connector, follow these steps:

1. Click on "Test" in the custom connector creation process.
2. Create a new connection by providing an API key obtained from Jet DPT.
3. Fill in the required parameters and test the operation to ensure it returns the expected results.

7. Creating a Flow with the Custom Connector

To create a flow using the custom connector, follow these steps:

1. Create a new Power Automate flow and give it a suitable name.
2. Add a trigger (e.g., manual trigger, email received) to initiate the flow.
3. Add the custom connector action to the flow and provide the required input parameters.
4. Use the output from the custom connector action in subsequent steps of the flow.

8. Retrieving the Output from the Custom Connector

To retrieve the output from the custom connector in Power Automate, follow these steps:

1. Add a "Compose" action after the custom connector action.
2. Use expressions to extract the desired output from the custom connector response.
3. Test the flow and inspect the output of the "Compose" action to ensure it contains the expected data.

9. Conclusion

Creating a custom connector in Power Automate allows you to integrate Jet DPT directly into your workflows. By following the step-by-step process outlined in this article, you can efficiently automate flows and leverage the power of Jet DPT for various purposes. Start exploring the possibilities today and unlock the full potential of your Power Automate workflows.

FAQ

Q: Can I use my own logo for the custom connector?

Yes, you can add your own logo to the custom connector by uploading a PNG file during the creation process. Make sure to choose a suitable image that represents your brand or the purpose of the connector.

Q: How do I authenticate to the Jet DPT API using an API key?

To authenticate to the Jet DPT API, you need to provide an API key. During the custom connector creation, specify the authentication method as "API Key" and set the parameter name and value accordingly. This will verify your identity and allow access to the API.

Q: What can I do with the output from the custom connector?

The output from the custom connector can be used in various ways within your Power Automate flow. You can extract specific data using expressions, perform additional operations or actions based on the output, or display the results to your users. The possibilities are endless!

Q: How can I test the custom connector without affecting my existing flows?

When testing the custom connector, you can create a new Power Automate flow specifically for testing purposes. This allows you to experiment and ensure the connector functions as expected without impacting your live flows.
