Posted on by Lama Khaled

Hello,

I'm looking for some guidance on how to write AL code in Visual Studio Code to establish a continuous integration between Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and an external sales system via API.

Specifically, I want to achieve the following:

Retrieve customers and sales invoices created in the external sales system and import them into Business Central.
Continuously synchronize item details from Business Central to the external sales system.

Most examples I've come across online demonstrate integration using Postman, but I'm specifically interested in implementing this functionality using AL code in Visual Studio Code.

I would greatly appreciate any advice, tips, or resources that can help me accomplish this task efficiently.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi Mrs,

Thanks for your advice on using HTTP data type, I searched and found about this but I need to use AuthO type to use secret ID and token, and how I make an integration between an Outside system with Business Central to get and post data between them, how I can apply the mapping between them, I need example code if you can ? I apprsieated your effort but I need someone to give me the light of the road in this matter because I am a beginner and first time I will do that

Hi, you can search for the "HttpClient data type" keyword and you should be able to find a lot of learning materials.

For example,

Call external services with the HttpClient data type

Hope this helps.
