Hi,
What's the difference between business events and data events? Because in business events form I can see business event catalog and data events catalog. also there is active business events and active data events.
When to use each one and what's the difference?
Hi IntegrationBeginner,
This is a great question. You can read about the business and events on the documentation pages. The main difference is that a business event will send out a payload based on an event developed by x++ coding. A business event could be e.g. the posting of a purchase order confirmation. Data events will be triggered on data changes (Create, Update and Delete). E.g. a purchase order header has been created.
Data events do have a pre-requisite that the Power Platform integration should be enabled with the F&O environment. For that reason, this is not available for trial and development environments. When looking at the above-mentioned examples, when using the data event on a purchase order header, you don't know if the order is complete. An order should also have lines. When using the business event for the confirmation, it will be assumed that the lines are created.
