Progrmatically create pipeline

"But there is no way you can manually create a json from scratch that would represents the json otherise created by using the UI."

Hi smpa01 ,

In addition to the ideas and comments mentioned by the two above, I think you can also try the following:
1. You can create and manage data factory pipelines programmatically using SDKs for .NET, Python, and other languages.

2. You can also use the Azure CLI and PowerShell, command-line tools that allow you to manage Data Factory resources through scripts, including creating and updating pipelines.

Read this official documentation below for more information: Use custom activities in a pipeline - Azure Data Factory & Azure Synapse | Microsoft Learn
