Connectors For MS Teams and More
If you’re one of the 145 million active Microsoft Teams users who are interested in Power Automate connectors that work in your team’s channels, you’ll be interested in this review. If not, there’s more for you below.
Connectors for Microsoft Teams
Are you a user of Microsoft Teams? If so, you may have found Map Pro by Witivio to display a map in any of your channels. Now you’ll be able to automate creation of new places or manage existing ones using five possible actions: create, update or delete a place, or get a place or places by its unique identifier.

In the same vein as Map Pro, Witivio’s Contacts Pro lets you manage all of your existing contacts or create new contacts automatically for Microsoft Teams. This connector also has five actions: create, update or delete place, or get a contact or list of contacts. To access this connector you’ll need:
- a Contacts Pro Platinum subscription
- a TeamsPro Graph API key, and
- a Contacts Pro app installed in a channel on Microsoft Teams

The Calendar Pro app (also from Witivio) for Microsoft Teams lets you can organize teams, manage availability, schedule work and share events inside a channel. This connector with (you guessed it) five actions will allow you to create, update or delete existing events, or get a specific event or all events on a calendar.

Analytics
Hello analytics nerds! In case you missed my earlier post about newly added connectors for Azure AD, you might want to read that first and then dive into this one.
The MS Graph Groups and Users Power Automate connector helps retrieve Azure AD groups, members (users) and license details. This connector is actions-only right now, but still a useful tool.

Business Central
Business Central users, head’s up!
A companion to the earlier released Connect2All, the on-premises version connector for users of Business Central can now automate their data management records like those using the cloud-based version. I’m betting that the creators at GAC Solutions saw the need for this connector after releasing the cloud-based version 2 years ago. There are a bunch of actions here from which to choose and this connector triggers a flow when a record is created, updated or deleted.

IT Department
The ITautomate platform allows you to automate a wide variety of IT operational tasks. This connector’s only action issues a saved command such as PowerShell cmdlets on remote devices and parses the results to use in future actions.
Full disclosure: This action left me bewildered because it presses beyond my technical knowledge. So, in case you’re like me, I was curious to look a little further. I learned that PowerShell is “a cross-platform task automation solution made up of a command-line shell, a scripting language, and a configuration management framework.” PowerShell runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Ohhhhh, I get it!
Kinda cool, right?

Document Signing
OK dokument gives you the basic automation you’d need to provide for electronic document signing including a trigger to kick off a flow to “wait for a document signature.” I need to say here that while this trigger may be of use, I would think a trigger for when a document has been signed would be of greater importance. However, the fact that they included a trigger at all gets extra kudos in my book.

That’s all of the reviews for today, but there are, as always more to come soon! As of this writing, there are 786 Power Automate connectors to choose from and I love digging into them to see what they can do to improve your workday. How can we help you?
