Power Automate connector

The Axtension Content Gate Power Automate connector enables you to define your own actions on content items and offers the possibility to upload content in Content Gate.

For each trigger and action that is available, the connection to the Content Gate environment needs to be specified. You can select an existing connection that is already available in the Power Platform, or create a new one. If a new connection is created, you will be prompted for the DNS subdomain of the Content Gate environment.

For example, if the URL of the Content Gate environment https://demo-environment.content-gate.com, the "demo-environment".
