Simulate Connection

The Preview.SimluateConnection function allows you to simulate requests to Power Platform connector and provide responses without actually making live requests. This is particularly useful for testing and development purposes, as it enables you to create predictable and controlled responses for various scenarios.

Preview.SimulateConnection({Name: "connectorname", Action: "actionname", Parameters: {}, Filter: "optionalfilter", Then: {Value: Table()}})

Name The name of the connector from thr url of the connector list. For example the name of the Office 365 Users is office365users
Action The part of the url request that will match against the action
Parameters A Power Fx Record that will be mapped to Query parameters required to me matched
Filter A Power Fx expression that needs to be matched
