Set up business event for message

You can set up a business event that is triggered by a message.

Business events provide a mechanism that lets external systems receive notifications from D365 FO. In this way, the external systems can perform business actions in response to the business events.
For more information on business events, refer to Business events overview .
Note:
  • Only use business events to send small sets of data. So, do not use business events to export data.
  • You can export a project to move the Connectivity configuration to another environment, for example, from a Test to a Production environment. The message business events are included in the export. So, after import in the new environment, you do not need to create the message business events again. However, you must redo the other activities of this flow due to the environment change.

Create message business event

Application Consultant

 		If you want to create a business event to be triggered by a message, first create and set up a message business event. A message business event is a business event definition that is used to create a business event in D365 FO.
For each message, you can only create one message business event.
The business event is triggered when the message run is done, taking into account the 'Send business event' setting.

Set up endpoint

For more information, refer to Manage business event endpoints.

Configure business events endpoint

 		For several endpoint types, you configure the business event endpoints:
  • In the Business events catalog in D365 FO. This, for example, applies to endpoints of type 'HTTP' or 'Azure Event Grid'.
  • From the endpoint. This, for example, applies to endpoints of type 'Microsoft Power Automate' or 'Dataverse'.
For more information, refer to Manage business event endpoints. The tutorials, as referred to in this topic, give more detailed information.

Activate business event

Application Consultant
For several business events, you activate the business event:
  • In the Business events catalog in D365 FO. This, for example, applies to endpoints of type 'HTTP' or 'Azure Event Grid'.
  • From the endpoint. This, for example, applies to endpoints of type 'Microsoft Power Automate' or 'Dataverse'.
For more information, refer to:

(Re)build Connectivity business events

Application Consultant

 		You can rebuild the business events of category 'Connectivity'. You can do so, for example, if:
  • Changes are made to the message business events. Changes can be, for example, when message business events are deleted or the 'Send business event' field is changed to 'Never'.
  • The connectivity setup, including the message business events are moved from a Test environment to a Production environment.
As a result:
  • All existing business events of category 'Connectivity' are deleted from the business events catalog.
  • Based on the message business events, business events are created. So, a business event is created for message business events that:
    • Had a related business event.
    • Didn't have a related business event.
Note:
  • If a message business event is deleted while a related business event exists, on rebuild, the related business event is deleted and not rebuilt.
  • A business event is not (re)built if for the message business event the 'Send business event' field is set to 'Never'.
  • If a 'Connectivity' business event is activated before rebuild, the activation stays after rebuild is done. However, if for a message business event the 'Business event ID' is changed, the activation is undone.
  • If Connectivity setup is moved from Test to Production, the endpoints must be set up, activated, and configured again.
