I am looking for Is there a way to create a custom connector for other tenants or as guests?
A connector is a wrapper or a proxy around an API that interact between Power Automate or Power Apps and the back-end service or data source.
The custom connector (API connector) enables you to connect your own web API (REST API) in Power Automate and Power Apps. To create a custom connector first we need to enable authentication in Azure Active Directory then register one of the APIs as a custom connector and lastly connect to it in Power Automate.
Authentication in Azure Active Directory
First, you need to create an Azure Active Directory (AAD) application that performs the authentication when calling the API endpoint.
First create an App registration in Azure Active Directory.
Now in the settings of the registered App, go to required permission and Add API.
For more detailed information check this Enable authentication in Azure Active Directory section of the Microsoft document.
Custom connector
After configuring the AAD Application we can now create the custom connector.
After clicking the Settings at the top of Power Automate web page, select custom connector.
Select Create custom connector, then Import an OpenAPI file .
In Security page, provide AAD information for the application and set Resource URL.
For detailed information check this Create a custom connector section of the Microsoft document.

I will create a mobile app for Android and iOS. The purpose of the app is to access just a segment of the MySQL database, that part is for customers (the rest of the database is used by employees via my web application).
Is there a way the for FlutterFlow app to access MySQL database instead of FireBase Storage? If not, what are the alternatives?
Though flutterflow has default integration with Firebase firestore database,
below 2 approaches can be used.
API integration approach can be used to use MYSQL database.
Please refer below flow:
You can have backend Server which will host the API.
This backend server will have integration with MYSQL DB
API's will be consumed in flutterflow app
https://docs.flutterflow.io/data-and-backend/api-calls
Custom code approach (Though have not used it before)

I have some params in Remote Config that I want to update from the Google Cloud Functions.
Should I use the Remote Config API when both Cloud Functions and Remote Config belong to the same account or project?
I am asking because Cloud Functions can directly import the data from Firestore without any authentication and API.
Remote Config provided the RESTful APIs to update the parameters or template.
You don't have to call them from a Google Cloud function. But calling them from a Google Cloud function or even Firebase Cloud function is definitely workable.
You can even call the RESTful APIs from postman or some other tools once you set up the call properly.
Check more details here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/remote-config/rest
With Remote Config backend APIs, you could use Remote Config with Cloud Functions for Firebase, changing values in your app based on events that happen server-side. For example, you can use Remote Config to promote a new feature in your app, and then turn off that promotion automatically once you detect enough people have interacted with the new feature.
Using the Remote Config REST API or the Admin SDKs described in this guide, you can bypass managing the template in the Firebase console to directly integrate Remote Config changes into your own processes.
As described here, Cloud Functions can be triggered in response to changes in Firebase Remote Config in the same Cloud project as the function. This makes it possible to change the behavior and appearance of your app without publishing an app update.
I have a requirement to pull and post data to another application. App maker provides URL fetch option to get data from public API's.
I want to access data from a application in my intranet server does app maker provides any option to connect to the outside server.
URL Fetch option is used to consume data, if I need to pass some data is there any option available to do this in app script
I have a requirement to pull and post data to another application
If you don't have strong requirements on a way how to pull/post the data you can consider sharing data via database:
Option one: shared database
You can connect App Maker and your other apps to the same Google Cloud SQL database
Option two: direct database connection
Let's say, you have App Maker app connected to Google Cloud SQL database and some internal apps connected to your internal databases. From App Maker side you can connect to your internal databases using JDBC service and you can whitelist your internal apps to connect to your Cloud SQL instance that App Maker app is connected to.
Option three: API way
At this time App Maker app cannot serve as API endpoint(How to create a rest api in app maker?)
But in theory it should work fine with third party services(External API)
I am trying to figure out what is involved to write a console application that will run as part of a VSTS Release task and that program will read a connection string (secret) from a preconfigured keyvault and then connect to an Azure SQL db using that connection string and apply some changes.
Currently I have my Web Apps connecting to KeyVault and the Azure SQL Server
using Azure AD Application Token authentication so I know what is involved on that front.
When you check "Allow scripts to access OAuth token" on agent settings page,
can this token be used (using ADAL) to connect to KeyVault and SQL Server.
(Assuming the VisualStudioSPNxxx has the appropriate access to the above resources).
If not what should I be looking for?
The vsts token (Allow scripts to access OAuth token) can’t be used to connect to KeyVault.
You need to register app with Azure Active Directory and enable to communicate with Azure Active Directory and Key Vault, then get the connectionstring dynamically.
More information, you can refer to: Protecting Secrets using VSTS and Azure Key Vault
This is made relatively very easy now with Variable Groups - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/pipelines/library/variable-groups?view=vsts
You can link a secret by connecting your Azure KV to a variable and then use this variable as you would normally use it in any script/task.
Does anyone have any experience using the REST API reference for Windows Store for Business (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/mt608306(v=vs.85).aspx)?
I'm trying to use it to but having authorization issues. Does anyone know what needs to be passed over for authorization when using the api?
Then Store for Business service reply on Azure Directory for authentication. The management toll must be registered as an Azure AD application within an organization tenant to authenticate against the Store for business. About configuring your Azure AD application you could refer to this document.
To learn more about Azure Ad and how to register your application within Azure Ad, here are some topics to get your started:
• Adding an application to Azure Active Directory - Azure Active Directory integration with MDM
• Accessing other Web applications and configuring your application to access other APIs - Integrating Applications with Azure Active Directory
• Authenticating to the Store for Business services via Azure AD - Authentication Scenarios for Azure Active Directory
