Using Business Central Webhooks triggering an Azure Logic App

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

As the standard connectors for Business Central seem to retire we are searching for a new way to get our Logic Apps triggered by Business Central.

It seems that Business Central has for all major entities webhooks installed you can subscribe and let the webhooks trigger your Azure Logic App.

I found a lot of documentation about Webhooks and Business Central. Also I found information about the HTTP Webhook Trigger for Azure Logic Apps/Flow.

Now my question is: How do I get all the stuff together?

What I need is that if I change a customer or contact or product in Business Central, the webhook should trigger my Azure Logic App.

I would need a step by step description (even if I am quite familiar with Logic Apps I am not a deep dive developer.

Thanks a lot in advance

    I'm looking forward to them implementing generic webhooks that can handle notifications for inserts and not just edits for 3 days like the current mechanism.

    RE: Using Business Central Webhooks triggering an Azure Logic App

    I hear you Ricardo, there are quite a few pieces to put together.  I've taken the approach of using Event Grid to re-transmit the changes emitted by Business Central, because I didn't want to have any direct, point-to-point connections between Business Central and consuming applications (i.e. I didn't want Business Central to know or care about any other micro-services that might be interested in its change-notifications)

    Re the HTTP Webhook trigger: It appears that Business Central is not ready to play nicely with the Azure Webhook just yet, although they promise that this will be ready by April 2019.

    I've jotted down some notes on some of the bigger-picture architectural issues I've come across, which might be handy if you're trying to get a handle on how much work it entails, for estimation purposes or maybe for some architectural guidance. 

    I don't have a step-by-step example with code samples yet but if there is still interest I could probably put something together (maybe "Slaving a Sharepoint table to Business Central entities" or some similarly-thrilling title :-) ). I think I'm doing exactly what you're describing - setting up Flows (among other things) as subscribers to events coming out of Business Central
