How to Configure Business Events in Dynamics 365 and Create Endpoints Using Power Automate?

Introduction: Business Events in Dynamics 365 allow you to trigger external processes or workflows based on specific business actions, like creating records or posting transactions. They enable seamless integration with other systems and automation tools like Power Automate, streamlining business processes and ensuring real-time notifications and actions.

In this blog, I will explain how to configure a Business Event in the Dynamics 365 UI and create endpoints using Power Automate Flow to ensure they are ready to run whenever the event is triggered.

Scenario: In this scenario, the Power Automate Flow triggers automatically when a Purchase Order (PO) is confirmed in Dynamics 365, after configuring the business event.
