They act as bridges or gateways that allow applications within the Power Platform - such as Power Automate, Power Apps, and Power BI - to integrate with both Microsoft and third-party services.
By using these connectors, users can streamline workflows, automate processes, and build applications that work with data from different sources without needing to write complex integration code.
Types of Power Platform connectors
- Standard connectors: Available to all Power Platform users and include connectors for common services like SharePoint, Outlook, Teams, and Excel.
- Premium connectors: Require a premium Power Apps or Power Automate license and include connectors for services like SQL Server, Salesforce, and Dynamics 365.
- Custom connectors: Allow organizations to build their own connectors for proprietary or specialized services not covered by standard or premium options.
There are over 900 connectors available in the Power Platform connector library, making it one of the most extensive integration ecosystems in the low-code/no-code space.
