HTTP request
PATCH /external/connections/{id}/schema
Request body
In the request body, supply a JSON representation of a schema object.
When you register a custom item schema, the schema object must have the baseType property set to microsoft.graph.externalItem
and must contain the properties property. The properties object must contain at least one property, up to a maximum of 128.
Response
If successful, this method returns a 202 Accepted
response code and a URL in the Location
response header that can be used to get the operation status.
Note: It can take between 5 and 15 minutes for the schema to be created. We recommend that you use the URL in the Location
response header to get the operation status.
Examples

The following example shows a request to register a new or update an existing custom schema asynchronously.
