## CData Connect Cloud Newsletter We’re excited to share the latest developments and achievements from the CData Connect Cloud team. This quarter has been full of significant updates and enhancements designed to make live data access easier than ever. Let’s dive into the highlights! ![bf9d4eb4-057a-4045-a7be-d6a021ddab6d.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cdata/original/2X/9/9364d204687e971821d79f63512da2f3837ead5e.png) ### Connect Cloud adds OpenAPI connectivity Connect Cloud now supports OpenAPI standards to easily connect to any no/low-code applications that support OpenAPI. OpenAPI is a popular standard API specification for connecting and reading data. [OpenAPI setup instructions](https://cloud.cdata.com/docs/OpenAPI.html?utm_source=community&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=connect_newsletter_24q2) ###   ### What can you do with OpenAPI? - **Improved performance with PowerApps integrations** API connections facilitate higher performance in PowerApps by enabling more frequent queries, thereby accelerating data access. - **Reverse ETL to better enable your operations and analytics teams** OpenAPI offers greater flexibility for connecting to Salesforce, allowing you to work with custom fields more effectively than native connectors. ###   ![5a3a407a-7f5d-46e3-b55a-e5cc48f3781e.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cdata/original/2X/3/35f49edea8dfe725800c7cd042c0a173e7bf2b97.png) ### Say goodbye to slow connections with caching Running into performance issues with your data connections?
