Enhancing Business Central using Power Automate

Though Business Central is a powerful tool all by itself, what is one thing that could make it even more efficient and resourceful? 

The answer is Power Automate. It is a simple, no-code/low-code platform offered by Microsoft as a part of their Power Platform. By integrating Power Automate with Business Central, anyone can create automated workflows to make processes more efficient.  

Just like other Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Power Automate can be used to initiate instant, scheduled, automated, and approval workflows involving various connectors such as Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, and Business Central.  

With Business Central, Power Automate also boasts some built-in templates that can be modified according to the business' needs. The following are some of those templates: 

• Automate approval requests when a vendor/customer/item is created  

• Automate approval requests when a purchase/sales document is created 

• Triggering a custom action when a record is created/modified  

  
  

Interestingly, with the help of Copilot AI, Power Automate further supports optimization using tailored recommendations and insights for the benefit of its users.
