New pipeline Activities Now Support OPDG and VNET

We’re excited to announce that Microsoft Fabric Data pipelines now support both On-Premises Data Gateway (OPDG) and Virtual Network (VNET) Gateway across a broader set of external activity types.

What’s New?

You can now securely connect to on-premises and network-isolated resources using OPDG or VNET Gateway for the following Fabric Data Factory pipeline activities allowing for secure and extended connectivity in your pipelines:

  • Web
  • Webhook
  • Azure Functions
  • User Data Functions

Seamless Gateway Integration

When creating new connections for any of the supported external activity types, you’ll now see your On-Premises and VNET gateway connections available in the Data gateway dropdown—making it easier than ever to integrate with secure, internal systems.

Web and Webhook activity

New Web v2 connection configuration

To learn more, refer to the Web activity and WebHook activity documentation.

Azure function activity

New Azure function connection

User Data Function

New User Data Function connection

To learn more, refer to the documentation: Functions activity

For instructions on setting up and configuring your gateways refer to how to create on-premises data gateway or leverage how to create a VNET data gateway for creating VNET data gateway.
