In this post, you will learn how to connect to an API with OAuth 1.0 authentication in Power Automate. Using this connection, we will connect to Twitter API to post tweets with @mentions and also send DMs with quick actions. The Twitter connector available in Power Automate doesn’t allow user mentions and also doesn’t have an action to send DMs. Currently, it’s not possible to implement OAuth 1.0 directly in Power Automate as the HTTP action doesn’t have this type available in the list of authentication types. To overcome that, we will create an Azure function which connects to the Twitter API and then call the Azure function from Power Automate. Don’t worry if you haven’t created an Azure function before. I will walk through all the steps to create an Azure function as well ...

https://youtu.be/e_97F47hzm8 A trip to remember - Microsoft Ignite Day 2, 3 and 4 What a trip this has been. I got to meet so many of the community members and got to spend some great time with them. I believe conferences are more about the people you meet. Ofcourse, the sessions are great and I am so happy that I could attend a lot of them and could then personally connect to the speaker. You can always watch the sessions later, however, the personal connections you make are priceless. And ofcourse you should also enjoy the non-conference part as well and hang out at the parties which are hosted every night by several companies. And DO NOT MISS THE UNIVERSAL PARTY! This video shows my journey at Ignite this year which I wanted to share with all of you just for fun. Hope you enjoy it! ...
