The End for Office 365 Connectors Comes Into Sight

It seems the end is near for Office 365 Connectors - a feature that brings external data into Microsoft 365 apps such as Teams and Outlook. According to recent reports, Connectors are being replaced by Workflows and Power Automate for Microsoft 365 Groups and SharePoint Online. While Connectors are still available in Teams, it remains unclear for how much longer. Microsoft seems to be streamlining no-code automation around Power Automate, which suggests that Office 365 Connectors may soon be phased out entirely.

While the change may be unsettling to some users, the transition to Workflows and Power Automate brings its own distinct set of advantages. Microsoft's no-code automation platform provides users with more control when creating complex workflows and automations, and ultimately enables them to do more with their data. For users who are worried about the future of Office 365 Connectors, this is an opportunity to explore the exciting new world of Power Automate.

So, while the final fate of Office 365 Connectors may be unknown, it is clear that Microsoft is committed to providing users with better, more streamlined ways to work with data in their favorite Microsoft 365 apps.
