Hi,

did the documentation change but the course was not updated?

https://zcusa.951200.xyz/en-us/connectors/overview states:

There are two types of connectors:

Prebuilt: Predefined connectors that can be used without you making modifications. They address automating commonly used business process scenarios.

  • Custom: Function-based connectors that you build to support your tailored scenarios.

While: https://zcusa.951200.xyz/en-us/training/modules/identify-foundational-components-microsoft-power-platfor/5-examine-power-platform-connectors

divides them into standard, premium and custom.

Bye

Michael

    Hi Michael Schmidt,

    Thank you for reaching out on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    The discrepancy you’ve noticed arises from different contexts in the documentation.

    • The overview describes connectors as Prebuilt and Custom, focusing on the general types of connectors available.
    • The training module divides connectors into Standard, Premium, and Custom, which specifically categorizes connectors based on licensing and access levels.

    Both explanations are correct, but they highlight different aspects of connectors. The first focuses on the type, while the second emphasizes access levels.

    If you are still facing any issue, please let us know in the comments and where you are encountering this error along with the screenshot for reference. We are glad to help you.

    Please don’t forget to Accept Answer and Yes for "was this answer helpful" wherever the information provided helps you, this can be beneficial to other community members.
