Specify an event to start the flow

In this example, we will create a simple flow that will send an email if the inventory for a specific item goes below a certain quantity. First, enter the Flow name and then find the Business Central trigger in the Choose your flow's trigger field. Select the When a record is changed trigger for Business Central and click Create.

The system will create a new trigger as a first step when you create a flow. The Environment name is by default populated with the value PRODUCTION, but you can change it to SANDBOX (if you have a sandbox environment in Business Central). Next, you need to select the Company name. Choose the company you want to use. We want to check the inventory, so let's select Items in Table name.
