• I attest that the connector doesn't exist on the Power Platform today. I've verified by checking the pull requests in GitHub and by searching for the connector on the platform or in the documentation.
• I attest that the connector works and I verified by deploying and testing all the operations.
• I attest that I have added detailed descriptions for all operations and parameters in the swagger file.
• I attest that I have added response schemas to my actions, unless the response schema is dynamic.
• I attest that the swagger file, apiDefinition.swagger.json, has been validated by running paconn validate command.
• I attest that apiProperties.json has a valid brand color (#da3b01) and I am not submitting a connector icon (independent publisher connector).
• I have named this PR after the pattern of "Connector Name (Independent Publisher)" ex: HubSpot Marketing (Independent Publisher)
• Within this PR markdown file, I have pasted screenshots that show: 3 unique operations (actions/triggers) working within a Flow. This can be in one flow or part of multiple flows. For each one of those flows, I have pasted in screenshots of the Flow succeeding.
• Within this PR markdown file, I have pasted in a screenshot from the Test operations section within the Custom Connector UI.
• If the connector uses OAuth, I have provided detailed steps on how to create an app in the readme.md. (This connector uses Basic Auth — no OAuth.)

Guru — Independent Publisher Connector

Overview

Guru is a knowledge management platform that helps teams capture, organize, and share verified information. This connector enables Power Automate users to search, create, update, and verify knowledge cards, browse collections and folders, and manage tag categories — bringing team knowledge into automated workflows.

Test Results

• 12/14 operations tested successfully via direct API (Tier 1)
• 11/11 operations passed via APIM gateway in PA environment
• 10/11 operations show green checkmarks in PA test tab (1 red — PA platform limitation, see below)
• 2 operations skipped (folder ops — no folders in trial account)
• 3/3 end-to-end scenario flows validated with real Teams integration
• Swagger validation passed (0 errors, 0 warnings)

Known Issue: archiveCard — PA Test Tab 415

The archiveCard operation shows red in the PA test tab only. This is a PA platform limitation: the test tab sends a Content-Type: application/json header on DELETE requests, and Guru's API rejects this with HTTP 415. The operation works correctly via direct API (204), APIM gateway (204), and in actual flows. This does not affect end users.

Test Tab — All Operations

Screenshot: PA custom connector test tab showing 10 green checkmarks across all testable operations

Scenario 2: Create Card from Knowledge Suggestion

Scenario 3: Weekly Verification Digest → Teams

Superseded by #4152 — same connector with updated files (Content-Type fix for archiveCard, per-operation consumes, setheader policyTemplate). Please close this PR in favor of #4152.
