Détails du module

In Module 1, learners extend the Power Platform’s capabilities by integrating with external systems using custom and built-in connectors, as well as Copilot Studio. They begin by creating custom connectors, working with OpenAPI or Postman definitions, setting up authentication, adding actions, and testing the connector—including troubleshooting common issues. Next, the module emphasizes built-in integration, guiding use of standard connectors such as SharePoint, Outlook, and Teams to transmit data between Power Apps and Power Automate workflows. The final segment introduces Copilot Studio, where learners design topics and trigger phrases, invoke flows via AI-powered bots, and publish and embed Copilot agents for automation tasks. Practical labs—such as building a custom connector and designing Copilot-based automation—reinforce real-world integration skills aligned with PL‑400 exam objectives in the Extend the platform domain

In Module 2, learners explore the creation of Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) controls to extend UI capabilities in both Canvas and Model‑Driven apps. They'll learn when standard controls fall short—such as for custom sliders, maps, or rich data visualizations—and how to design and build reusable components using TypeScript, HTML, and CSS. The module covers manifest configuration, lifecycle event methods (init, updateView, destroy), and data binding to Dataverse fields or datasets. Participants also apply UI/UX design best practices by optimizing control performance—minimizing re-renders, improving responsiveness, and enabling accessibility—and explore mobile/offline scenarios using device features like the camera, GPS, or barcode scanning. Hands-on labs guide students through building, packaging, and deploying real-world PCF controls aligned with PL‑400 exam requirements in the Extend the platform and Extend the user experience domains

In Module 3, learners develop ALM and DevOps skills tailored to enhancing Power Platform solution governance. They become familiar with Power Platform solutions as the key packaging mechanism to move components across environments, manage dependencies, use environment variables, and validate using tools like the Solution Checker. The module covers Power Platform Pipelines—a low-code approach to CI/CD that lets makers and admins configure Dev, Test, and Production stages within the platform. Learners also explore Azure DevOps integration using Power Platform Build Tools or GitHub Actions, enabling automated source control, build generation, solution export/import, and staging deployments. Through scenario-based labs, students automate end-to-end lifecycle workflows from development to production, and practice troubleshooting and monitoring via deployment logs and performance dashboards—aligning directly with PL‑400 exam domains focused on ALM processes and DevOps automation.
