Business Process Flows

Posted on by 10

Hello all - new to power automate, looking for some input.

 

In my organization we have a handful of flows.  Things that upload files to a SharePoint document library from on premise.  A few that send some messages to teams / mailboxes for our help desk.

 

All of these are set up as a flow for an individual user.  Some are shared across multiple users.  I recently spent some time in the power automate admin center  and saw that I could create a database for business process flows.

 

How do these work?  Are the limited to only Dynamics or is it something that I could implement in my organization.  It seems to me that the current flows that we have implemented are exactly business processes.  Is this what it was intended for?

 

Thanks

Steve

    Hello Team,

     

    Business Process Flow helps business visualize their process flow on the Dynamics 365 CRM records and see the progress and the current status of the record along the process.

     

    Business processes often require automation of certain actions upon achieving certain stages of the process. With this in mind Microsoft included the ability to invoke.

    Yes they are only limited to D365, if we look at the Dynamics 365 connector within Flow we will find all the triggers and actions that we may want to use to automate things within Dynamics 365.

     

    You can call Microsoft Power Automate Flows directly from Dynamics 365 Power Apps Business Process Flows-
