Business value

Enable partners and customers to build Power Automate flows and Power Apps that can search and filter Business Central data. This added capability will provide more flexibility when creating flows and apps, and it opens new scenarios for no code or citizen developers.

Feature details

This feature enables a new action in the Business Central connector for Power Platform called Find Records. When building Power Automate flows for processing any input (from the user, from external systems, or from different flow logic), it's now easy to get data that matches a query by using the Find Records action. Query syntax is based on the supported OData filter syntax, which you can read about at Using Filter Expressions in OData URIs.
