This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2.
The eighth of the new functionality in the Adapt faster with Power Platform section is Get list of companies using Business Central connector in Power Automate.
More often, customers and partners are trying to instrument workflows working across companies in Business Central, but they’re blocked. Having an action in the Business Central connector that retrieves a list of companies in Business Central unblocks these customers and partners, providing greater flexibility for executing flows across multiple companies.
Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically
Public Preview: Sep 2023
General Availability: Oct 2023
Feature Details
With this new action in a workflow, you can get all Business Central companies available in a given environment and then either iterate through them all or find a specific one.
This capability enables the creation of more dynamic workflows that function seamlessly across different companies.
My Opinion
This sounds like it could be very useful, although I need to have a think about some use cases.
The one which initially comes to mind is automated reminder processing; instead of needing one flow per company, one flow could loop through each company in turn.
