Power Platform Weekly - Issue #72

Welcome to Power Platform Weekly!

Out of the Blue news from last week brought us a General Availability of Power Apps portals as mobile apps announcement and information about tenant-level analytics to include analytics for Power Automate cloud flows.

If you use Twitter and like to discuss Power Platform related topics with other enthusiasts, don’t miss the opportunity to join the new PowerAddicts community.

Spotted on Twitter, a reminder from Natraj Yegnaraman that it is time to start planning for migrating from the now deprecated Dynamics 365 Connector to the Microsoft Dataverse Connector.

Have a great week and thanks for reading!
