In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Power Automate Actions), how do I… Use the “Run Action V3” Action

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis article is part of the In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Power Automate Actions), 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 actions available in Power Automate for Business Central which allow specific actions against the data of Business Central to be performed from within Power Automate.

The 9th action which is available is the Run action (V3) one which allows you to run actions against records in Business Central, including posting journals, receiving and invoicing purchase orders, posting sales invoices and more.

Within a flow, click the add action button; search for Business Central and select the Business Central icon (make sure you select the SaaS one, which is a dark colour instead of the on-premises one which is mainly white):

End of Life for Microsoft Dynamics GP Announced

Microsoft Dynamics GPIn an announcement which cannot be a surprise to anyone, Microsoft have announced that Microsoft Dynamics GP is coming to the end of it’s life.

Today, we’re announcing we will end product support and updates for Dynamics GP on the 30th of September 2029 (with security patches ending on the 30th of April 2031). We want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to our loyal GP customers. Your trust and collaboration have been essential to building an incredibly strong GP community!…

I was a part of that community for nineteen years before I decided the writing on the wall was getting too large to ignore and made the switch across to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. That swith has seemed increasingly a good choice as I had come to expect an announcement like yesterdays.

The Dynamics GP roadmap has been updated to reflect this announcement:

Roadmap for Dynamics GP showing end of life and end of support

The Dynamics Communities site is hosting an interview with Microsoft’s Mike Morton, VP of Dynamics 365 BC and SMB, where he discusses the timeline for ending support for Dynamics GP.

Microsoft had already announced the end of Microsoft Dynamics GP On-Premises Licenses in 2025 and Subscription Licenses in 2026 which again was a huge red flag in terms of the future life of Dynamics GP; the new key dates to bear in mind for users of Dynamics GP is 30th September 2029 when there will be an end to produce support, product enhancements and regulatory updates and 30th April 2030 when there will the end of security updates.

What does this mean for users of Dynamics GP? Well, first thing is don’t panic!
