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 for approval requests. This isn’t actually a single trigger but one for each of the approval requests which are possible. These triggers allows users to submit a master record or transaction for approval.
The following approval request triggers are available:
