Premium Connections for Learning

Posted on by 6

Hi

 

I'm learning power automate and I'm trying to update a entity in the common data store (CDS). The CDS database is in a personal environment that was created as part of a community plan subscription. In my flow, the action is showing as Premium and when I click it it prompts me to start a trial. Can someone confirm that access to Premium connectors is not possible using the community plan? I was able to interact with the CDS using Power Apps. I also have an E5 developers license but that didn't give me the right access either.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Rob

    Hello Rob,

     

    As per community plan, you have should have access to premium connections. Microsoft has made some changes standard connectors to premium , I am not sure it relates to your . Can you let me know which connector you are trying ?

    If this helps, please mark as resolved.

    I'm trying to connect to the common data store. I can do this in Power Apps but not in Power Automate.

    Hi Rob, 

     

    MS has changed pricing model on 10/1/2019, You will need Power Automate per user or per app plan to use premium connectors.

    • Flow per user plan.Equip individual users to create unlimited workflows and business processes based on their requirements. This means the existing Flow P1 and P2 plans will collapse into a single simplified per user plan. Pricing will be $15 user/month.
    • Flow per business process.Implement critical business processes with capacity that serves teams, departments or the entire organization, for an unlimited number of users. Pricing will be $500 business process/month for up to 5 active workflows.

    Thanks @anupam8555 - that was the conclusion I'd come to. It's a shame that I have to pay for the privilege of learning certain features of the Power platform but from what I've read some companies will see their costs rocket due to changing some of the standard connectors to premium (e.g. SQL Server) so I shouldn't complain too much!
