Because e-documents are pretty much the standard these days, modern businesses need flexible and compliant ways to share them with the right people. To that end, you can use APIs for Power Automate to share e-documents with other applications, so that people can access them in their preferred tools.

New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2: Support IPv6 for Enhanced Security and Scalability

Tuesday 27th Aug 2024Saturday 20th Jul 2024 Ian Grieve2 minute read0 comment

The 7th of the new functionality in the Governance and administration section is support IPv6 for enhanced security and scalability.

The adoption of IPv6 in Business Central helps to ensure uninterrupted service, improved security, and scalability in the future as the number of internet-connected devices continues to grow and IPv4 addresses become less available.

Feature Details

The supply of IPv4 addresses is limited and will eventually run out. So, starting in 2024 wave 2, Business Central supports IPv6 addresses. The transition to IPv6 not only ensures seamless connectivity for your environments but also enhances the security of your data with IPv6’s built-in security protocols. More importantly, this update prepares your environments for the future as the world moves towards widespread IPv6 adoption.

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Power Automate Triggers), how do I… Create a Flow for a Record Change

Tuesday 27th Aug 2024Wednesday 17th Jul 2024 Ian Grieve3 minute read0 comment

This article is part of the In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Power Automate Triggers), how do I… series, a sub-series of the In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Power Automate), how do I… series and of the wider In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, how do I… series which I am posting as I familiarise myself with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

There are a number of triggers available in Power Automate for Business Central which allow flows to be started. In this small series, I am going to take a look at creating a flow for each of the triggers.

The third trigger which is available is the When a record is changed (V3). This trigger works when a record is changed within Business Central; in this context changed is different to modified, for which there is also a trigger.

Changed means a record has been created, deleted or modified; it is a combination of the three triggers covered in the previous articles of this triggers sub-series.

This type of flow is created as an automated flow in the Power Automate portal; enter a Flow name and search for Business Central, scroll down the list of available triggers and select When a record is changed (V3). Click Create:
