Apptigent Founder and CTO Eric Shupps has authored a series of ten articles covering the complete lifecycle of Power Platform Connector development. If you are considering ways to extend your Power Apps and Power Automate flows with custom functionality, the Power Platform Connectors A to Z series on Tekkigurus provides an in-depth walkthrough covering all aspects of connector development, from initial design and prototyping through advanced capabilities, including real-world insights on performance management, hosting, publishing, monetization, and much more.
The first article in the series, Introduction to Power Platform Connectors, is now available. It provides a general overview of connector solutions along with a cost comparison of the different Power Platform licenses, some sample use cases, and tips on how to get started. Here is a small excerpt from the Background section:
In the context of Power Platform, connectors expand the capabilities of Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Virtual Agents, and Azure Logic Apps by enabling them to communicate and interact with a wide array of other software applications, be they part of the Microsoft ecosystem, like Azure and Dynamics 365, or external services like Salesforce, Google, ServiceNow, and many more. The core value of Power Platform connectors lies in their ability to support streamlined, automated workflows, and richer, more comprehensive apps, without the need for complex code. This opens endless possibilities, even for users without a background in programming, to craft custom solutions that cater to their unique business requirements.
The full series is being published in regular installments on the Tekkigurus web site, an online platform dedicated to providing technology-related news, insights and resources to Microsoft technology enthusiasts worldwide. Check back every few weeks for new article releases.
