Using custom C# code when creating custom connectors for Power Platform or Logic Apps

On Stefano Demiliani's blog, Demiliani stated that a user doing an integration between Dynamics 365 Business Central and Power Platform might have to create a custom connector.

Demiliani explained that custom connectors are useful when you don’t have a pre-built connector with a particular application or API. He noted that they let you create (and even share) a connector with its own triggers and actions.

Custom connectors are used the same way Microsoft-managed connectors are used. You’ll need to create a connection to your API in order to use that connection to call any operations that you’ve exposed in your custom connector.

He added that if you create custom connectors, you're now able to add custom C# code in connectors and he explained how to do that in his post.
