Microsoft 365 Copilot connectors enable your organization to bring content from third-party systems into Microsoft 365 so that Copilot can reason over it, ground responses, and improve knowledge discovery. With connectors, your users can search, retrieve, summarize, and interact with enterprise data—no matter where it resides.
We are pleased to announce the general availability (GA) of nine new Microsoft 365 connectors across engineering systems, knowledge bases, cloud storage, and service platforms. These connectors have completed all quality, reliability, security, and documentation requirements, and are now fully supported for production use.
The following connectors are now GA:
- GitHub Cloud – Knowledge Base
- GitHub Cloud – Issues
- GitHub Cloud – Pull Requests
- Freshservice (solution articles)
- Guru (knowledge cards)
- Dropbox (files)
- Google Drive (files)
- Zendesk Help Center (articles)

These releases represent a major milestone in expanding the Copilot extensibility ecosystem and enabling organizations to unlock high-value knowledge trapped in external systems.
