Workshop: Connecting the Dots: Integrating Business Central with Azure Services and Power Automate

In today's digital-first landscape, integrating Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with other systems is essential for creating connected, automated, and intelligent business processes. This hands-on workshop is designed for developers, consultants, and solution architects who want to build modern, scalable integration solutions using Azure services and Power Automate.

Attendees will explore the core principles behind AL-based and modern integration architectures, gaining practical insights into when to use real-time APIS vs. scheduled processing, and the trade-offs of each approach. The workshop will cover essential topics such as data transformation, handling API responses and errors, and building extensible, modular integration frameworks that can evolve with your business.

We’ll demonstrate how to use tools like Azure Service Bus, Event Grid, and Power Automate in Business Central integrations—and guide you through when and how to transition from the traditional approach, or even combine them to leverage the best of both worlds.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll have the skills and understanding to confidently design, implement, and manage robust Business Central integrations using the Microsoft cloud platform.

This workshop is intended for Business Central professionals looking to enhance their integration skills using Microsoft Azure and Power Automate. Basic familiarity with Business Central and Power Platform is recommended. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own devices for hands-on lab participation.

Rapid deployment to Business Central and to Azure using BC APIs and Azure DevOps

How much time do you spend spinning up a new Business Central environment, deploying extensions and doing basic configs to get the environment up and running?

On top of that, how would you feel if you had to deploy a basic framework to Azure to integrate Business Central with a messaging service (Service Bus) that connects to a third-party application?

Would you be surprised if all the above can be deployed and configured in under 30 min?

Attend our session to know the possibilities that open up with Business Central Administration APIs, Automation APIs, Azure DevOps, ARM templates and Azure Integration Services.

Not to the organizers: This is a level 200 session.
