Connecting External Application 2021.4.4 - Power Automate

Help Orchestrator
,

Hey UiPath Forum,

I am working on a solution in which an end user using Power Apps will click a button to submit a request. Power Automate is listening to button presses, and once pressed, a Flow triggers that needs to connect to our UiPath Orchestrator Instance and start an indicated process.

I noticed that 2021.4 utilizes a new method to connect External applications, but I have been having trouble trying to connect this with our Cloud Orchestrator:

I am attempting to use a Confidential application and set it up correctly using the Admin panel in our Orchestrator instance following the instructions of the documentation. However, I have not been able to make a successful GET request in Postman or Power Automate to get the authorization key. Has anyone successfully been able to run Postman / Power Automate with the new External Applications connections and provide examples / guidance on how to establish this?

Also, what URL am I supposed to put for the redirect_uri?

Did you manage to set up the external application and link it to PowerAutomate? I’m trying to do the same thing for PowerBI, but am struggeling to get the query working.
