If a system lacks an available connector but has a pollable API, what is the best option to automate with it?

When a system has a pollable API but lacks an available connector, the best option for automation is to create a custom connector. This approach allows you to build your own integration with the API, enabling seamless communication between Power Platform services, such as Power Automate, and the external system. Custom connectors can be tailored to suit the specific needs of the API, allowing for the configuration of authentication, triggers, and actions that reflect the capabilities of the pollable API.

By utilizing a custom connector, you can effectively manage the polling logic, develop workflows that take advantage of the API's functionalities, and ensure that data or services can be utilized across the Power Platform. This flexibility is essential for automating processes when predefined connectors are not available, thus maximizing the use of the platform's capabilities to connect different applications and services efficiently.
