15 new connectors and use Azure AD with the SQL Server connector

Use Azure AD with the SQL Server connector

The Azure AD authentication for Azure SQL Database provides significant security benefits for Power Automate authors and users. This feature enables each user to connect to a SQL Azure database with their own credentials.

You need to create a new connection for the SQL Server connector by selecting Data > Connections in the left navigation. Select New Connection in the command bar and then choose SQL Server. You will be asked to choose an Authentication Type. You can now select Azure AD Integrated authentication. Once selected, you can sign in with your Azure AD account to create a connection.

After you create your connection, you can start building your flow. However, you will now need to specify the server and database as part of the action or trigger you are using. This allows you to use a single connection – associated with your Azure AD credentials – across multiple SQL Servers and databases. Note that we provide a dynamic drop-down for the Database parameter once you provide a valid SQL server. Once you provide the server and database, you can proceed to provide the rest of the parameters required for your operation.

TIP: If your credentials do not have access to list the database, you can select “Enter custom value” and type in the database name.

Along with enabling Azure AD Integrated authentication, we also updated the SQL server connector as well. These are GA now as well. In particular, we have have better support for SQL datetime, datetime2, and smalldatetime data types. Go here to read more about this change.
