What is Power Apps?

Article • 08/07/2024

Power Apps is a suite of apps, services, and connectors, as well as a data platform, that
provides a rapid development environment to build custom apps for your business
needs. Using Power Apps, you can quickly build custom business apps that connect to
your data stored either in the underlying data platform (Microsoft Dataverse) or in many
online and on-premises data sources (such as SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365,
SQL Server, and so on).

Apps built using Power Apps provide rich business logic and workflow capabilities to
transform your manual business operations into digital, automated processes. What's
more, apps built using Power Apps have a responsive design and can run seamlessly in
browser and on mobile devices (phone or tablet). Power Apps "democratizes" the
business-app-building experience by enabling users to create feature-rich, custom
business apps without writing code.

Power Apps also provides an extensible platform that lets pro developers
programmatically interact with data and metadata, apply business logic, create custom
connectors, and integrate with external data.

Power Apps and Microsoft Copilot let you describe the app you want and AI designs it.
Make edits, add automation, and write code—all with Copilot in Power Apps.

custom connectors, and embed apps into your website experiences to create integrated

Power Apps and Dynamics 365


Dynamics 365 apps (such as Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, and

Apps to store and secure data. This enables you to build apps using Power Apps and
Dataverse directly against your core business data already used within Dynamics 365,
without the need for integration. More information: Dynamics 365 and Dataverse
