## Overview

Power Automate lets you build business workflows for Business Central without code or with little code. Flows connect Business Central to cloud services through the Business Central connector, using triggers and actions. Automated flows run when an event happens, such as a record being created or changed. Instant flows are started manually by a user.

The three pages fit together as a path. The integration overview explains the concept and the main flow types. The page on using flows in Business Central describes the flow types in more detail: automated, approval, scheduled and instant. The troubleshooting page covers problems with automated workflows and the web service publishing setup they need.

Start with the overview to understand the flow types, then read the usage page before building a flow. Go to the troubleshooting page when a flow does not behave as expected.

## Key points

- Automated flows are triggered by events, such as record creation or changes.
- Instant flows are triggered manually by users.
- The usage page also lists approval flows and scheduled flows.
- The Business Central connector provides the triggers and actions for flows.
- Flows can connect Business Central with cloud services to perform business tasks.
- Troubleshooting covers flows that do not trigger on all records, response size limits, and missing entity errors.
- Automated workflows depend on web service publishing configuration, and webhook notifications are involved.
