What is the Accept Mission Power Platform Connector?
The Accept Mission Power Platform Connector is a paid extension that allows you to securely connect Accept Mission with the Microsoft Power Platform. It enables innovation data from Accept Mission to be used directly in tools such as Power Automate, Power Apps, and Copilot Studio.
With the connector, Accept Mission remains the system of record for ideas and innovation processes, while Microsoft tools are used to automate actions, build applications, and interact with users.

Why we built this connector
In many organizations, innovation and execution live in different systems. Ideas are managed in Accept Mission, while follow-up and delivery happen in project tools, CRM systems, collaboration platforms, or internal applications. This often results in manual handovers, delays, and loss of context.
The Power Platform Connector was built to close this gap. It allows innovation data to trigger actions in other systems and allows signals from business applications to create or update ideas in Accept Mission. This ensures innovation is not isolated, but embedded in daily operations.
Technology is not the goal. Better execution of innovation is.
What the connector does
The connector exposes key Accept Mission functionality through secure APIs that can be used within the Microsoft Power Platform.
Supported entities
You can work with, among others:
Ideas
Projects
Missions
Funnels and funnel lanes
Categories
Departments
Tasks linked to ideas and projects
Users
Strategic domains
Real-time updates
The connector supports webhooks, enabling live updates. This allows flows and applications to respond immediately when something changes in Accept Mission.
Where the connector is used
Power Automate for workflows and automation
Power Apps for custom internal applications
Copilot Studio for conversational agents that interact with innovation data
Key benefits for clients
Using the Accept Mission Power Platform Connector helps you to:
Reduce manual work by automating handovers between systems
Improve follow-up on ideas by connecting them directly to execution tools
Keep Accept Mission as the single source of truth for innovation
Increase adoption by embedding innovation into daily tools
Enable advanced use cases without custom development
This is especially valuable for organizations already using Microsoft 365 and Power Platform.
Use cases with Innovationlands
The following examples use Innovationlands, a fictional demo company, to illustrate what is possible.
Use case 1: Idea creation triggers action in another system
Scenario
Innovationlands wants every new idea in a specific funnel lane to automatically appear in their internal project intake system.
How it works
A webhook triggers when an idea is created or moved to a specific funnel lane in Accept Mission
Power Automate receives the event
A new item is created or updated in another business application
Value
No manual triage by the innovation team
Faster ownership assignment
Clear link between idea and execution
Use case 2: A business application triggers idea creation
Scenario
Customer feedback is collected in another system and should automatically become ideas in Accept Mission.
How it works
An event in the external system triggers a Power Automate flow
The flow creates a new idea in Accept Mission
The idea is automatically linked to the correct mission, category, or department
Value
Innovation input is not lost
Ideas are created with full context
Accept Mission remains the central idea repository
Use case 3: Keeping data in sync between systems
Scenario
Innovationlands manages projects in Accept Mission, while execution progress is tracked elsewhere.
How it works
Webhooks or flows listen for changes in the execution system
Selected fields, such as status or progress, are updated in Accept Mission
Governance principle
Accept Mission remains the owner of innovation logic and decision-making. Only agreed fields are synchronized.
Value
Always up-to-date reporting
No duplicate status updates
Better portfolio oversight
Use case 4: Copilot Studio Agent for innovation
[Image suggestion: Copilot Studio agent canvas interacting with Accept Mission data]
Scenario
Innovationlands deploys a Copilot Studio Agent that employees can interact with using natural language.
Employees can:
Submit new ideas through conversation
Ask questions such as “Show me ideas about sustainability”
Retrieve lists of ideas related to a specific subject or mission
How it works
Copilot Studio uses the Accept Mission connector
The agent retrieves or creates data in Accept Mission
Access rights and structure are enforced by Accept Mission
Value
Lower barrier to participation
Innovation becomes accessible in everyday language
Higher engagement without additional training
When not to use the connector
The Power Platform Connector is powerful, but not always necessary.
You may not need it if:
Native Accept Mission workflows already cover your use case
No external systems need to react to innovation data
You require heavy bi-directional synchronization across many fields
In these cases, keeping processes within Accept Mission may be simpler and more robust.
Getting started
To get started with the Accept Mission Power Platform Connector:
Contact your Success Manager to activate the extension
Define your integration goals and governance rules
Build your first flows, apps, or Copilot agents with support from our team
If you already use Power Platform, you can move quickly from idea to working integration.
