This 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 second action which is available is the Get url (V3) one which creates the URL which can be sent in an email, Teams message or other communication. When clicked, the Business Central page for the selected record will be opened (presupposes that the receiving user has a Business Central licence.
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):
Find and select the Get url V3 action:
There are four parameters for this action which need to be populated:
- Environment which is set to use the variable populated by the trigger.
- Company which is set to use the variable populated by the trigger.
- Page which is the page number. You can find these in the Business Central web client by clicking the Help icon » Help & Support » Inspect pages and data or by searching/browsing my Business Central Table Reference website; in this example, I have used page
26
which is the Vendor Card (26) page. - Row id is the unique identifier for the record for which the url is to be created. It has to be noted, that this is not the code or number, but a GUID identifier, so you do need to supply the id. In the Dynamic content,
System Id
is available which contains this id for the record from the trigger.
