Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis 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:

Trigger Description
When a customer approval is requested (V3)

Triggers a flow when a customer approval request occurs in Dynamics 365 Business Central.
When a general journal batch approval is requested (V3)

Triggers a flow when a general journal batch approval request occurs in Dynamics 365 Business Central.
When a general journal line approval is requested (V3)

Triggers a flow when a general journal line approval request occurs in Dynamics 365 Business Central.
When a purchase document approval is requested (V3)

Triggers a flow when a purchase document approval request occurs in Dynamics 365 Business Central.
When a sales document approval is requested (V3)

Triggers a flow when a sales document approval request occurs in Dynamics 365 Business Central.
When a vendor approval is requested (V3)

Triggers a flow when a vendor approval request occurs in Dynamics 365 Business Central.
When an item approval is requested (V3)

Triggers a flow when an item approval request occurs in Dynamics 365 Business Central.

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 vendor approval is requested (V3). Click Create:

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

The second trigger which is available is the When a business event occurs (V3) (Preview). This trigger allows a flow to be initiated when an event, such as a customer being placed on or taken off hold, or an opportunity marked as won or lost. This trigger was added in release 2023 Wave 2 and is currently flagged as in preview.

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 business event occurs (V3). Click Create:

The first trigger which is available is the For a selected record (V3). This trigger is used for instant flows, which are initiated by users pressing a button.

In the Power Automate portal create a new instant cloud flow; enter a Flow name and, in the list of triggers, select For a selected record (V3); click Create:

What is the Microsoft Power Platform?

Ian Grieve4 minute read0 comment

Power PlatformI’ve been posting about working with Power Automate in general and using it with Business Central for a while now, but I’ve never really explained the Power Platform, of which Power Automate is a part (although I did introduce Power Automate itself).

The Power Platform is a low-code platform for rapidly building customised end-to-end business solutions. Power Platform includes four main products, which can be used individually or together:

Power AppsPower AutomatePower BIPower Pages

  1. Power Apps – allows apps to be created which can be run on a browser or mobile device, they can be used by internal users.
  2. Power Automate (formerly Microsoft Flow) – automation of tasks and activities acorss numerous services using integrated or custom connectors.
  3. Power BI – business intelligence solution which provides interactive data visualization BI tools to help users visualize and share data and insights across their organization.
  4. Power Pages (formerly part of Power Apps until 2022) – secure, secure, enterprise-grade, low-code software as a service (SaaS) platform for creating, hosting, and administering modern external-facing business websites.

While Microsoft bill all parts of the Power Platform as low-code, I think that developers, or at least people with experience in programming, will find the logic patterns required to build flows easier to manage than someone without experience.

Certainly with Power Automate there are development principles which should be followed, such as Application Lifecycle Management which requires the use of solutions, separate environments for development, testing and production and use of child flows.

The other areas of Power Platform are very similar; organisations which allow a free for all in Power Platform are storing up a lot of trouble for the future.

New Functionality In Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 1: Scale Faster with Power Automate Process Mining Thin Client App

Ian Grieve3 minute read0 comment

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 2nd of the new functionality in the section is scale faster with Power Automate Process Mining thin client app.

The current Power Automate Process Mining desktop app requires that you download the process model to the client computer in order to work with it. This download puts specific requirements on the hardware resources on the client computer. To unblock your resources, you can use the Azure Process Intelligence Analytic Service instead. With this service, you can use a lightweight desktop app with a process intelligence engine without the need to download the process model. The functionality of the thin desktop application offers features that are identical to the previous full desktop app. This allows you to scale faster, it supports larger process models, and doesn’t put specific requirements on your client computers.

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

Feature Details

Process Intelligence Analytic Service offers analytical functions in the form of an Azure API. When the desktop application connects to Process Intelligence Analytic Service, you have access to the identical functionality as in the full Power Automate Process Mining desktop app.

With Power Automate Process Mining thin client app, there’s no need to:

  • Download the process model, which takes up your resources.
  • Fulfill special hardware requirements when working with large process models.
  • Install desktop application updates in case of analytical operation modifications.

New Functionality In Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 1: Use the New Desktop Flow Running Timeout Property

Ian Grieve2 minute read0 comment

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 25th of the new functionality in the Desktop Flows section is Use the new desktop flow running timeout property.

This feature allows makers to set a maximum runtime for desktop flows. If this duration is exceeded, the flow will automatically time out and halt, ensuring that flows don’t run indefinitely or become unresponsive due to unforeseen conditions in the target application or potential infinite loops in the flow logic.

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

Feature Details

This setting is off by default but can be activated through a toggle in the Power Automate for desktop console. Once enabled, makers can define the maximum duration for the flow, using a format of hours, minutes, and seconds.
