Out of the blue

Imagine using GitHub and Visual Studio Code with the text formulas of a Canvas app. Teams can collaborate on apps: they can work on private branches, diff changes, create pull requests for review, and merge into master. Microsoft announced the experimental release of a tool that does just this!

Approvals in Microsoft Teams, now generally available, allows you to easily create, manage, and share approvals.

With the updated push notification connector, you can now send push notifications to model-driven apps with Power Automate. These notifications can direct users straight to a specific page or section of your app - like the relevant entity view or form.

The Innovation Backlog app gives your business users a place to record and prioritize their wish list of digital innovations. Your teams can use this app to submit ideas for apps and flows and describe pain points with the current process.
