How to Connect On-Premises Data to Power Apps Using the Gateway (Full Guide)

Learn how to connect your on-premises database to Power Apps using the On-Premises Data Gateway in this step-by-step tutorial.

In this video, I walk you through how to bridge the gap between your local SQL/MySQL database and the Microsoft Power Platform. You’ll learn how to securely access on-prem data from the cloud and use it to build powerful, real-world applications.

To make this practical, we also capture data using Microsoft Forms, automate the process with Power Automate, and store it in an on-premises database, then surface it in Power Apps.

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll understand how to:

Connect on-premises data to Power Apps using the gateway
