Snowflake is enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users and removing password access for service accounts as part of Phase 3 of their strong authentication rollout, rolling out between August and October 2026.

Ahead of this enforcement, the Custom (password-based) authentication method will be removed from the Snowflake connector starting with July 20, 2026.

What you need to do: Existing connections using Custom authentication will continue working until Snowflake applies enforcement to your account. Recreate all connections that use Custom authentication with one of the following supported methods:

For setup instructions, see Snowflake authentication.

The Google Vertex connector now supports Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite. The discontinued Gemini 2.0 flash model is no longer available. Gemini 3.1.x models require you to set the Region to global when adding a connection.

The MCP connector is now available in Preview. It is a universal connector that connects to any remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and dynamically invokes the tools that server exposes — from your RPA, API Workflow, and Maestro automations.

You create the connection once, authenticating with OAuth 2.0 (Authorization code, Authorization code with PKCE, or Client Credentials) or a Personal Access Token, and Integration Service handles connection, credential management, and governance centrally.
