Microsoft Power Platform Basics

 What is Microsoft Power Platform?

  • Microsoft Power Platform is a low-code platform for building business apps in very less time.
  • It includes 5 main components:
    • Power Apps
    • Power Automate
    • Power BI
    • Power Pages
    • Copilot Studio
  • It allows organization to solve complex challenges using the Power platform.


Power Apps:



  • There are different types of Power Apps:
    • Canvas app
    • Model-driven app
  • Canvas app gives total control over the screen contents and navigation between them. It uses connectors to work with data and services. We can also embed canvas applications into SharePoint, Teams, Power BI and Dynamics 365 applications.
  • Model-driven apps are build on top of Microsoft Dataverse. 

Power Automate:



  • Power Automate is used to automate repetitive tasks and orchestrate them across various services using connectors. With it, we can create and use cloud or desktop flows.
  • It is built on top of Azure Logic Apps but also offers connections with Microsoft Power Platform.

Power BI:



  • Power BI is a business analytics solution that offers interactive data visualization tools to share data and insights across the organization.
  • We can embed Power BI into apps and website.

Power Pages:



  • Power Pages allows to create business websites from which external users can also login.
  • It can create and view data from Dataverse or even browse content anonymously.

Copilot Studio:



  • Copilot Studio can create powerful AI agents that can answer questions about the website or service. It is built on Microsoft Bot Framework and offers a low-code experience to build and manage chatbots.

Connectors:

  • A connector is a wrapper around an API that allows the underlying service to talk to Microsoft Power Automate, Microsoft Power Apps and Logic Apps.
  • It offers to use a set of prebuilt actions and triggers to build the apps and workflows.
  • We can also build custom connectors for any REST API.
