Dynamics 365 Business Central API is now available in Microsoft Graph

The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central API is now available via Microsoft Graph. The announcement came over the weekend from Microsoft program manager Jared Hall.

Surfacing Business Central APIs through the Microsoft Graph means financial and operational data will now be more broadly accessible to developers, improving the odds that Business Central data will be presented in custom applications in the context of other relational data.

Noting the case for better app synchronization, Hall wrote:

Many companies use different, disconnected business applications to manage various functions of business. Microsoft Graph enables connecting the data to bring these applications together. This makes it easy to connect your payroll application to employee records, your expense application to vendor records, and have your CRM application keep your customer records up to date. Connect your data to keep your applications in sync.

Hall also offered instructions on how to get started exploring Business Central with the Graph Explorer. And he advises that anyone interested in learning more look to the Dynamics 365 Business Central API overview and
