explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft has introduced a new feature called enhanced connectors for Power Apps and Copilot Studio, which will be available starting October 3, 2025. Think of these enhanced connectors like building blocks or bridges that help connect different pieces of software together. Imagine you have a set of Lego bricks, and each brick represents a different software or data source. The enhanced connectors are like special Lego pieces that help you snap these bricks together in new and more efficient ways.
These connectors are particularly useful for people who create applications without needing to write complex code, known as "makers." They allow these makers to build apps, automate tasks, and create AI agents by easily accessing and integrating data from various sources. This is similar to having a universal remote control that can operate multiple devices in your home, like your TV, stereo, and lights, all from one place.
Developers can use a tool called the Connector SDK to create these enhanced connectors. This tool helps them take structured data and turn it into a Web API, which is like a digital handshake that allows different systems to communicate with each other. Once this is done, makers can use a language called Power Fx to work with these connectors and integrate different knowledge sources within the Power Platform environment.
This new feature is being shared for awareness, and no immediate action is required from your side. If you're interested in learning more about how these enhanced connectors work and how they can benefit your organization, you can find additional information by visiting the provided link.
