What’s happening?
The customer is unable to connect to the new Snowflake connector in Power App, although the connection works in Power Automate and Dataflow.
 

Reason:
This arises because the customer needs to create a Virtual table first before using it in the canvas app. The Snowflake table cannot be used directly in the application.
 

Resolution:

  1. Create the Virtual table as per the documentation provided.
  2. Ensure that the Virtual table is created successfully before attempting to connect it in the canvas app.
  3. After creating the Virtual table, use the connection in the Power App to add this table as a data source.
  4. If there are issues with data retrieval or CRUD operations, check the external table in Snowflake for the following:
    • Ensure that the external table has a primary key defined.
    • Remove any duplicate records from the external table, as this can cause issues with data updates.
