MADIC dynamicsIn our most recent webinar here at MADIC dynamics, we took a look at What’s New in Business Central 2024 Wave 1.

  2. New Features
  3. Conclusion

Introduction ^

This webinar was presented by my colleage at MADIC dynamics, Simon Bellinger, and covered the top new functionality he identified in the 2024 Wave 1 release of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central which would be of most benefit to clients and others.

New functionality is announced for a release wave, but might not actually be released at the start of the wave, but anytime within the six months of the wave. The functionality Simon covered in the webinar, is mainly functionality which is already available for use.

New Features ^

The features covered by Simon were:

Two others that Simon would have covered, time permitting, were:

Conclusion ^

Business Central is in rapid development with Microsoft and has two annual release waves, both of which contains many enhancements and new functionality. The New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 1 series on this blog covered all of the announcements and it is worth keeping an eye on the functionality as it is announced, sp that you can see what will be released soon. It’s also worth keeping an eye on what is removed from a release as well; sometimes a piece of new functionality is announced, but then withdrawn for a, usually, undisclosed reason. These features are often re-announced, but other times they just disappear.

The ones covered by Simon in the webinar are announced and still listed and, in most cases, already available.

The webinar recording is available.

New Functionality In Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 1: Enter into a Conversation-first Copilot Experience to Build Flows

Power AutomateThis post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 1.

The 4th of the new functionality in the Copilot for Power Automate section is Enter into a conversation-first Copilot experience to build flows.

This feature allows you to create flows with a conversation-first Copilot experience from the Power Automate home page.

Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically
Public Preview: –
Early Access: –
General Availability: May 2024

Feature Details

Prior to this feature, you were limited to creating specifically phrased prompts in Copilot to generate a flow. This feature now enables you to enter less specific prompts. You can simply start by stating a business scenario, your business roles and responsibility, or pain points that you encountered in your work process. In any case, you can easily enter into a conversation-first experience to build flows.

The conversational experience extends the ability to ask Copilot using natural language to create a workflow into the ideation process. For example, Copilot might ask further probing questions to help you form a clear automation plan. This allows you to not only create, but refine, edit, and adjust through follow-up prompts. In addition, if you get errors with your workflow, you can use Copilot to fix them for you.
