This page is the home of Certified Custom Connectors for Power BI.
To enable Custom Connectors in Power BI:
- Enable the Custom data connectors preview feature in Power BI Desktop (under File | Options and settings | Custom data connectors)
- Restart Power BI Desktop
To install a Custom Connector, please click through to the connector you need, download it, and save it in one of two locations. Go to My Documents.
-
If you have a folder 'Documents/Microsoft Power BI Desktop/Custom Connectors', save it in that folder.
-
If you don't, create a folder 'Documents/Power BI Desktop/Custom Connectors', and save it there. This is the folder that will contain custom connectors in the future, and will override the previous folder. If connectors in the 'Microsoft Power BI Desktop' folder aren't showing up, it's likely because you created a 'Power BI Desktop' folder.
This connector should now show up when you 'Get Data' in Power BI.
As of today, you are only able to use these connectors in Power BI Desktop. You will shortly be able to use connectors using 'Import' mode in the Power BI service via the On Premise Data Gateway - Personal, with support for both this and Direct Query coming to the Power BI Service via the On Premise Data Gateway - Enterprise coming in Q3.
Microsoft is responsible for distribution and certification of the connectors. Support requests for the connector itself should be sent to the the partner that wrote the connector.
While new and improved Connector Development documentation will be coming shortly, you can find currently available documentation here.
If you are curious about connector certification, please contact the DataConnectors@microsoft.com alias.
