Examples
This example pipeline demonstrates how to use Business Central CRUD Snaps to create, read, update, and delete records in the application.
Step 1: Configure the Mapper Snap with the different fields you want to add to the record.
Step 2: Configure the Business Central Read Snap with the Company name that is registered with the Business Central application, the Entity, and the Batch type as follows. The output shows the inserted record with an ID generated automatically.
Step 3: Configure the Mapper Snap with the fields that you want to update for a specific ID.
Step 4: Configure the Primary Key in the Business Central Update Snap when the ID populates in the field. On validation, the output shows the updated record.
Step 5: Configure the Primary Key in the Business Central Read Snap. On validation, the Snap reads the record from the application and displays the information in the output view.
Step 6: Configure the Primary Key in the Business Central Delete Snap when the ID populates in the field. The record is deleted on validation, and the success message is displayed in the output view.
