Скачать или смотреть Canvas Power App Hack: Using Environment Variables Without a Premium License

Are you a Power App user struggling with the limitations of not having a premium license? In this quick video tutorial, Nikki Czachowski, Systems Developer at Compass 365, walks us through a workaround to use environment variables in Canvas Power Apps – all without needing that premium license.

Typically, when using environment variables in a Canvas Power App, you need access to the environment variable connectors, which are tied to Dataverse and thus require a premium license. But what if you're working on a project and don’t have that luxury? Nikki has the solution for you!

In this quick and effective tutorial, Nikki shares how to bypass the need for a premium license by leveraging Power Automate. Power Automate flows can send environment variable values to your Canvas App, allowing you to still reap the benefits of environment variables, even on a free-tier license.

Environment variables are crucial in managing different environments for app development. Why let a premium license stand in the way of productivity? Nikki’s hack provides an elegant solution that’s highly efficient. This method will prove valuable for developers and organizations working with multiple environments, but without access to premium-tier Power Apps.
