Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Part 20)

Power Automate Flow

Power Automate Flow

Business Central includes a Microsoft Power Automate license.

Power Automate flows are triggered when Business Central records are created, modified, or deleted. Flows can also be run on a user-defined schedule or on demand.

A Power Automate flow should at least contain one trigger and one action.
