### Snowflake Cortex: two new authentication methods

The Snowflake Cortex connector now supports two additional authentication methods alongside the existing Programmatic Access Token: **OAuth 2.0 Authorization code**, which authenticates using a Snowflake security integration, and **OAuth 2.0 Client credentials**, which authenticates through a Microsoft Entra ID application using Snowflake External OAuth. Existing Programmatic Access Token connections are unaffected and require no changes. For details, see [Snowflake Cortex authentication](../user-guide/uipath-snowflake-cortex-authentication.md).

### Microsoft Azure AI Foundry: invoke Foundry portal agents via the Responses API

The Microsoft Azure AI Foundry connector adds a new **Invoke Agent** activity that runs agents created in the Azure AI Foundry portal — a separate surface from the classic Assistants agents supported by the existing **Execute the thread** activity. Only agents of kind **prompt** and **hosted** are verified; **workflow** and **external** kinds are not yet confirmed to work. For details, see [Invoke Agent](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/integration-service/uipath-microsoft-azure-ai-foundry-invoke-agent).

### Bug fixes

* Fixed an issue where the Microsoft Teams **Send Channel Message** and **Reply to Channel Message** activities failed with a deserialization error when the posted message included an @mention.

## August 10, 2026

**Added August 13, 2026:** These updates were released on August 10, 2026 but were not included in the release notes at the time.

### Microsoft OneDrive & SharePoint: reference a file or folder by URL in Maestro

Fields that reference an existing file or folder in Microsoft OneDrive or SharePoint — for example, **File or folder to move** in **Move File or Folder**, and the location field in **Get File or Folder List** — now have an **Enter URL** option in the menu that enables you to paste a URL directly, instead of browsing for the item or writing an expression.

### Bug fixes

* Fixed an issue where the SAP OData connector's data requests could return XML instead of JSON on some SAP S/4HANA and SAP C4C systems, causing activities to fail or return incomplete data. The `$metadata` call is unaffected and continues to return XML.
