Power up D365BC Power Automate Flows with API Pages

Dynamics 365 Business Central

The article discusses the process of creating a custom API in Dynamics 365 Business Central using AL in VS code.
To get started, create a new AL project in VS code, connect it to a BC trial sandbox, and ensure full admin access and SUPER permission.
Define a tenant ID in launch.json, download symbols from the sandbox, and create an API page by using the AZ New AL file wizard.
When creating the API page, specify the Object Id, Object Name, Source Table Name, Page Type, API Publisher, API Group, API Version, Entity name, and EntitySet Name.
Add necessary fields to the API page, publish the app to the sandbox using AL Publish, and review the extension in Extension Management in BC.
The created API can be used to read and write data, and the .app file generated can be used to upload the extension to any environment.
Power Automate flows can now connect to the company in the environment and interact with the new API.
The full endpoint URL of the API page can be built up by referencing the API publisher, API group, API version, and EntitySetName in the URL structure provided in the article.
