Using a Custom Connector for Automatic Data Refreshes on One-Drive

TLibson — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 20:48:56 GMT

I'm currently using a custom connector to get data from an Odoo Online database for my company's reporting needs. Right now, to refresh the data, I need to run the data refresh on my personal computer. Eventually I want the Semantic Model's data to automatically refresh on One Drive, but I'm worried that I won't be able to do that since I'm using a custom connector. This is the github for the connector I'm using: https://github.com/tmijail/Odoo-Power-BI-Connector/blob/master/Odoo.pq . Is there a way to add this connector into a workspace?

Thanks!

no, but you can add the custom connector to an On Premise Enterprise Gateway, and then (grudgingly) refresh from your online data source through that gateway. Not ideal from a performance perspective, but the only way to use the custom connector.

Thanks for the response! That's what I suspected would need to be done. Fortunately, the dataset isn't crazy big so performance shouldn't be too much of an issue.
