Application Connector

  • Article

The application connector allows Microsoft Power Automate, Power Apps, Data Integrator, and Logic Apps to integrate with finance and operations. An external application can use the available trigger and actions to integrate with them.

The Application Connector cannot be used for integrations with Dynamics 365 Finance + Operations (on-premises) instances.
