Power Automate workflows connected to Business Central

Approvals, notifications, document routing and data hand-offs automated with cloud flows, and monitored so failures are visible.

The challenge

Flows are simple to build and easy to forget. Without ownership, error handling and naming conventions, a tenant accumulates flows nobody dares to touch.

Technology we use

  • Power Automate cloud flows
  • Business Central connector
  • Microsoft 365 connectors
  • Dataverse

How we approach it

The same four steps apply whether the project is a rollout, an integration or a fix. Only the depth changes.

  1. Choose the trigger

    Business Central events, schedules, emails, form submissions or API calls.

  2. Build with error handling

    Retries, scoped error paths and notifications to an owner.

  3. Control connections

    Service accounts, connection references and environment separation.

  4. Document and monitor

    Each flow has an owner, a purpose and a runbook.

What is included

  • Approval flows for purchase, sales and expense documents
  • Notifications and escalations
  • Document generation and routing
  • Data synchronization between Business Central and other apps
  • Integration with Microsoft 365, Teams and SharePoint
  • Scheduled processing jobs
  • Governance and monitoring setup
  • Migration of fragile flows into supported patterns

What you get from it

  • Fewer manual hand-offs
  • Approvals that are tracked, not chased
  • Consistent process execution
  • Failures raised to a person, not lost

Frequently asked questions

Power Automate or AL code?

Power Automate suits approvals and notifications across Microsoft 365. AL suits logic that must run inside posting or with strict transactional control.

Can flows call Business Central APIs?

Yes, using the Business Central connector or HTTP calls with OAuth 2.0 to custom APIs.
