Message ID: MC1098956
We are announcing the ability to connect Azure Databricks to Microsoft Power Platform to create canvas apps in Power Apps using Databricks data in a no-code way, and to use Azure Databricks as a knowledge source to ground your Copilot agents for intelligent, data-driven responses. This feature will reach general availability on July 19, 2025.
How does this affect me?
The new Databricks Connector that links Azure Databricks to Power Platform provides users:
- Canvas app integration: Build apps in Power Apps with real-time Azure Databricks data to ensure current and accurate information. Interact with your data through natural language, backed by Databricks’ powerful processing engine.
- Real-time CRUD Support: Enable seamless CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations on Azure Databricks data directly within Power Apps.
- Knowledge Source for Copilot Agents: Add Azure Databricks datasets and tables that can be curated by developers and analysts as a Knowledge Source, enabling Copilot Agents to answer natural language queries using structured Databricks data.
- Low-code availability: A scalable, real-time integration point between Databricks and Microsoft’s low-code ecosystem, accelerating insights and reducing operational overhead.
What action do I need to take?
This message is for awareness and no action is required.
The Azure Databricks connector is currently in preview. To start using Azure Databricks as a Knowledge Source before general availability:
- Connect your Databricks workspace to Power Platform using the Azure Databricks Connector.
- Add your Databricks tables as Knowledge Sources in Copilot Studio.
- Configure and test your Copilot Agent to respond to natural language queries grounded in Databricks data.
