Microsoft Power Platform connectors

Data is at the core of most apps, including those you build in Power Apps. Data is stored in a data source, and you bring that data into your app by creating a connection. The connection uses a specific connector to talk to the data source.
Power Platform has connectors for many popular services and on-premises data sources, including SharePoint, SQL Server, Office 365, Salesforce, and Twitter. To get started adding data to a canvas app, see Add a data connection in Power Apps.
Connectors are essentially proxy wrappers around the APIs provided by services that allow Power Automate, Power Apps, and Logic Apps to easily interact with the service.
Connectors can be either public or custom. There are currently over 200+ public connectors that can be used by all organizations. Examples of public connectors are Microsoft 365, Common Data Service, Twitter, Dropbox and more.
Connectors make triggers and actions available that can be used by the apps and flows. Triggers are used by flow or Logic Apps to start the execution of the workflow.
Actions are used by apps and flows to perform a defined set of actions during execution.
