Power Apps Integration
Power Apps is a key component of the Power Platform, which is Microsoft’s suite of tools designed for low-code development, automation, and data analysis. Power Apps allows you to build custom applications with minimal coding. In Power Apps, you can connect to Dataverse, which provides a unified and simplified data schema that allows you to integrate data from multiple sources into a single store. Dataverse is a scalable data service and app platform that lets you securely store and manage data used by business applications.
Power Apps can be integrated with CluedIn to enable you to manage your master data directly in the Dataverse platform and automatically sync it with CluedIn.
Power Apps integration offers the following benefits:
-
2-way synchronization of Dataverse metadata to CluedIn entity types and vocabularies and vice versa:
-
CluedIn stream to export golden records from CluedIn to the Dataverse tables.
-
Data ingestion workflow to push data from Dataverse tables to CluedIn ingestion endpoint.
-
-
Auto-mapping of columns, keys, and relationships.
To achieve a 2-way synchronization between Dataverse and CluedIn, the Power Apps integration also involves Power Automate workflows. However, these workflows should not be confused with the approval workflows that are available in the Workflow module in CluedIn. We discuss the approval workflows as part of Power Automate integration.
To sync master data between CluedIn and the Dataverse platform, start from the Power Apps pre-configuration guide.
