Low-code plug-ins Power Fx (preview)

  • Article

[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change.]

Low-code plug-ins can add business logic to your apps using the Power Fx expression language and directly integrate with Dataverse business data and external data through Power Platform connectors. With low-code plug-ins, you can quickly build rich workflows without any code.

Important

  • Instant low-code plug-ins are deprioritized and aren't being delivered as a feature. Instant low-code plug-ins are replaced with functions. More information: Functions in Microsoft Dataverse (preview)
  • This is an preview feature.
  • Preview features aren’t meant for production use and may have restricted functionality. These features are available before an official release so that customers can get early access and provide feedback.

Low-code plug-ins support many of the Power Fx operators, variables, and formulas. For more information about Power Fx, go to these articles:

The following table lists the Power Fx formulas that work but have limitations or don’t work but have an alternative for use with low-code plug-ins.

Power Fx formula Supported in plug-ins? Limitation or work around
Collect Yes Requires the variable to exist and the variable type to match what you’re trying to set it to.
Defaults No Use Collect instead. For example, instead of Patch(account, Defaults(account), {“Account Name”: “Example Account”}) use Collect(account, {“Account Name”: “Example Account”}).
