Business value
It's essential that all Power Automate integration capabilities and sample templates are clearly defined, marked, and visible in the product so that decision makers can use them effectively when needed.
Feature details
This feature in Business Central provides advanced users with a single entry point to create flows based on templates. New actions have been added to enable flow creation in the following categories:
- Defining an approval request workflow if the page supports it. This was previously available as an application action but was difficult to find.
- Creating an automated background flow (for instance, flows based on external business events). Prior to this addition, such automations were only possible in Power Automate, and there were no Business Central templates supporting them.
- Creating a manual or instant flow. While this capability existed before, several new templates have been added to expand its functionality.
We also added several new automated and instant flow templates to our gallery.
