Welcome to Power Platform Weekly!
Last week Microsoft announced a new Power Platform CLI command which creates a canvas app from a custom connector. Another announcement was the preview of Power Fx formula-level error handling.
Two new verified connectors and 10 updates in July , one of them being Microsoft Bookings. We included a post from Megan V. Walker about that connector last week, here it is again .
