In my previous article [Step by Step] Configure and run pipelines in Power Platform, I covered how to deploy a solution from Development to Target environments using pipelines.

In this article, I will cover how to work with Connections References and Environment Variables that are part of a solution.

Deploying solution with ‘Connections References’ and ‘Environment Variables’:

• Continuing from the steps covered in [Step by Step] Configure and run pipelines in Power Platform, I’ve added a Connection Reference and an Environment Variable to my solution.

• Let’s deploy this solution to the target stage by navigating Pipelines 🚀, selecting a stage (i.e., Test Environment) and click on Deploy here.
• In the Deploying Solution pane, you’ll find tabs for both Connections and Environment Variables, which you can configure before deploying the solution.

• Once the deployment is complete, you can verify that the solution import changes are reflected in the target environment (i.e., Test).

• That’s how pipelines allow you to configure Connections and Environment Variables during the deployments.
