[Experimental Feature] Call Dataverse actions directly in PowerFx

Experimental Feature: Call Dataverse actions directly in Power Fx is a feature that enables users to call Dataverse actions directly from Power Fx. Power Fx is a low-code platform for creating custom applications, and Dataverse is a cloud-based data platform that enables users to store and manage data. With this experimental feature, Power Fx users can now call Dataverse actions directly from the Power Fx canvas, providing a more streamlined way to work with data in the Dataverse.

This allows developers to build applications that leverage data stored in Dataverse and provide an end-to-end solution for their application.

In one of my previous articles, I’ve explained the steps to call the Dataverse Custom API from Canvas App using Power Automate cloud flow.

Recently a new experimental feature Call Dataverse actions directly in Power Fx released using which makers can now directly invoke a Dataverse Custom API within a Power Fx formula.

About the feature:

• Power Apps will support the ability to directly call synchronous Dataverse actions without having to create a Power Automate Flow.
• For apps that need to call many Dataverse actions, this will provide a significant performance boost.
• It’ll be much easier to directly call Dataverse actions from the new Power Fx language element Environment.
• The Environment object allows authors to dot into actions available in the environment.
• It’s currently an Experiment feature and can be enabled from Canvas Studio Settings Upcoming features Experimental. Turn on the ‘Enable access to Microsoft Dataverse actions’ toggle.

In this article let’s learn how to call the Custom API directly in Power Fx formula without the need of Power Automate flow. But first let’s get familiar with our Custom API.
