02The adapter

A Connectify-owned Power BI adapter, not a packaged connector

The runtime takes care of it by keeping the Power BI adapter inside our own runtime, monitored by our SRE rotation and updated as Microsoft ships breaking changes. That means the field maps, sync cadences, and replay rules are shaped to your exact data model — including Row-level security mapping from Connectify roles and DAX measure deploy pipeline manageable from Admin. For architecture firms, the difference shows up the first time the upstream API throws a 500 — the adapter retries, journals the failure, and never silently swallows a transaction.

Where Power BI usually breaks — and how the adapter holds

The recurring tax on growth shows up as phase billing and drawing revision tracking. Connectify removes that friction by mapping every payload through a versioned schema layer with explicit lineage — every record can be traced from the Power BI originating event down to the field that wrote it, and ops finally trusts the data without manual reconciliation. The adapter also ships with Embedded analytics inside Connectify with AAD pass-through so the runtime can keep up when architecture firm crews push volume spikes during seasonal peaks.

Why Architecture Firms pull Power BI integration the hardest

Architecture Firms are constantly fighting phase billing and drawing revision tracking — and Power BI sits exactly in the middle of that workflow. Connectify pre-maps the Power BI entities the industry actually uses (not the entire vendor catalog) and wires Premium-per-user + Fabric capacity profiles supported into the lifecycle that matters: plan-to-make. That is the difference between a connector that lights up a checkbox and an adapter that and ops finally trusts the data without manual reconciliation.

Commercial terms — one flat monthly plan, no setup fee

Connectify charges a monthly retainer sized to your message volume — no per-API-call gotchas, no per-seat surcharges, and no setup fee to get started. The Power BI adapter goes live only after it is reconciled and signed off by the team that will operate it inside the architecture firm workflow. A one-page exit clause hands you the code if you ever leave, so Connectify keeps the adapter working across your full team to keep your business.

05FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How long does the Power BI integration take to ship?

    Our standard window is thirty days from signed scope to live Power BI adapter in production, plus a one-week monitored stabilization phase. For Architecture Firms, that includes a sandbox loop with your team, parallel-run reconciliation, and a documented runbook handed to your operations lead.

  2. Do we own the integration code at the end?

    Yes. The Connectify Power BI adapter ships with full source escrow rights — at any point you can request a snapshot of the code, configuration, and runbooks. We prefer you stay on our managed runtime, but you are never locked in.

  3. What does pricing look like?

    The Power BI adapter runs on a flat monthly retainer sized to message volume — no per-API-call gotchas, no per-seat surcharges, no setup fee, and a one-page exit clause.

  4. Can the Power BI adapter handle our custom fields?

    On first connection the adapter discovers every custom field, custom object and custom workflow inside your Power BI tenant and presents them as first-class mappings — you decide which to mirror, which to ignore, and which to enrich.

  5. What happens if Power BI changes their API after we go live?

    Our SRE team monitors Power BI change announcements and rolls compatibility updates inside our maintenance retainer. If a breaking change ships, we own the migration; you don't pay extra to stay current and you don't field calls from the vendor.

  6. Will this break our existing reports?

    No. The adapter writes through a versioned schema layer with full lineage. Existing reports, BI extracts and Excel pivot-tables keep working unchanged while new fields and new objects are added behind the scenes for the Power BI surface.
