Microsoft Launches Public Preview of Azure Databricks Connector for Power Platform

Microsoft announced on Tuesday the public preview of a native Azure Databricks Connector in Power Platform, enabling what the company said is seamless, governed access to Databricks data without data duplication or custom scripting. The connector supports OAuth via Microsoft Entra or service principals, preserving Azure Databricks access controls, and provides near real-time read/write capabilities.

In Power Apps, users can integrate Databricks tables into canvas apps. For instance, retailers can visualize in-store product placement and revenue impacts. In Power Automate, workflows can execute SQL commands on Databricks, such as automating retail safety incident tracking. Additionally, Databricks can now serve as a grounding knowledge source in Copilot Studio agents, adding context-rich data to AI-powered agents.
