Set up the ArcGIS Enterprise connector

ArcGIS Connectors for Power Automate includes a connector that accesses your ArcGIS Enterprise account to perform certain actions. To connect Microsoft Power Automate to your ArcGIS Enterprise account, you must create an application in your ArcGIS Enterprise organization to link to the connector. See the ArcGIS Developer topics about OAuth 2.0 authentication and Register an OAuth application to learn more.

After the application is set up, you can connect to ArcGIS Enterprise in one of two ways, depending on whether you connecting before beginning a flow or while in a flow. See ArcGIS Connectors for Power Automate supported environments for more information.

Note:

Triggers, geocoding, GeoEnrichment services, network analysis services, and certain data retrieval actions are not currently available for the ArcGIS Enterprise connector.
