Untapped Power of Custom Connectors: Helping Makers Take Their First Steps Beyond Low Code

Power Automate is an incredibly effective low-code platform, and for many scenarios, flows are all you need. But as solutions grow, makers often find themselves maintaining flows with dozens, sometimes hundreds, of steps just to handle validation, transformation, or something that feels so simple. This session explores how adding a small amount of pro-code can actually make solutions simpler, not more complex. Instead of managing fragile 100-step flows, you’ll see how custom connectors can move that complexity into a small, reusable integration layer, allowing makers to work with cleaner, more readable flows. Using real-world examples, we’ll look at common scenarios where flows start to struggle and show how simple C# techniques can encapsulate logic once and expose it safely through a custom connector. The focus is on mindset and approach rather than deep coding: understanding when a flow has outgrown its comfort zone, how little code is often enough, and how this pattern reduces long-term maintenance rather than increasing it. This is not a coding workshop and assumes no prior C# experience. The goal is to build confidence and give makers a practical mental model for recognising when taking a small step beyond low code can make their Power Automate solutions easier to build, understand, and support. Key takeaways Recognise when large, fragile flows are a signal to introduce a custom connector Understand how small, focused amounts of C# can replace complex flow logic Gain confidence to take first steps into pro-code without leaving the Power Platform
