The Power Platform for Business Central Techies

We all have heard about the Power Platform and its products like PowerApps, Flow and Common Data Service. But the question remains: is it something to combine with Business Central? And if so, how to do this, how to get started?

Out-of-the-box Microsoft delivers a Business Central connector combined with templates for Flow. The connector can be used in both PowerApps and Flow. And the templates are around approvals, which is a great feature of Flow. We will look under the hood and explore how the out-of-the-box integration works.

But we want to do more! How can we create our own integrations, with custom data? Exactly that question will be answered during this session. We will look at creating custom connectors for both Flow and PowerApps. And from there, build scenario's that will really inspire you!

What about triggering Flow from Business Central? Or the other way around, let Flow start because of an external event and then collect data and send it to Business Central. It's all possible, and you will see how to get there.

For PowerApps, we will look at how to create an app that reads and stores data in Business Central. Custom connectors can be used to basically access any table in Business Central from PowerApps. Which works slightly different from the standard connector, so we will also look into that and explain the differences.

The integration between PowerApps and Flow and Business Central heavily relies on API's. With custom API's you can go well beyond the standard features. So it's inevitable to take a look at API's as well and see how to create and use them.

You will be surprised how easy it is and how much time you can save by using the Power Platform! So, join this session to widen your view and get inspired with new ideas!
