Microsoft Power Platform Connections – A developer analysis

Microsoft Flow / Microsoft Power Automate  is a service available in Microsoft 365 that enables the automation for different type of application by connecting with those services. To connect with those services, we should establish the connections with them. And then we can use those in our Power Platform to fetch or manage the data.

To view the connections created in Power Platform from the below locations,

1. Through Power Apps
   https://make.powerapps.com/environments/Default-<environment id>/connections|

2. Through Power Automate
   https://india.flow.microsoft.com/manage/environments/Default-<environment id>/connections

As a end user, to view the connectiones available for your environment, follow the below steps,

1. 1. Navigate to Microsoft  Power Automate or Microsoft Power Apps home page
   2. From Left Navigation, click Data and then Connections
      
   3. The connection page list out the added connections for the default environment
