Business value
Being able to blend Power Automate flows into conversations in Microsoft Teams allows for enriching conversations with useful insights.
Feature details
We have introduced two new actions in the Business Central connector for Power Automate:
Get URL
- Generates a web client URL to a record.
- Requires standard parameters like environment, company, system ID, and the ID of the page that will be referenced in the URL.
- The generated URL can be used with the Get Adaptive Card action described in the next section.
- Enables scenarios in products such as Outlook and Teams where a clickable URL to a specific record in Business Central is needed. For example, you want to send an email to a colleague with actionable information and a link to a Business Central record.
Note
The Get URL action is only supported on Business Central 2023 release wave 1 (version 22) and later.
Get Adaptive Card
- Creates an adaptive card for a provided URL. The card is delivered as a payload to be used with a Teams connector or elsewhere.
- Reuses the adaptive card layout, content, and customizations known from the main product.
- Respects the user permissions while accessing card details.
- Enables more scenarios for integration with Teams where a rich card displaying a Business Central record is needed. For example, you want to post information and a link to a new sales order to an internal Teams channel.
Note
This capability applies only to Business Central online.
