Overview

Snaps in the Microsoft Business Central Snap Pack require an Access Token or OAuth2 account to access the resources in Azure. For the accounts to authorize successfully, create and configure an application corresponding to the account as displayed in the workflow.

Prerequisites

An Azure account with a free subscription to create the application.

Key Steps in the Workflow

Create an Application in the Azure Portal

1. Log in to the Microsoft Azure Portal.

2. Navigate to Azure services > Microsoft Entra ID.

3. Navigate to Add > App registration.

4. On the Register an application page, specify the name for registering the application and click Register. Learn more about creating an application: Quickstart: Register an app in the Microsoft identity platform - Microsoft identity platform.

Define Permissions

The Microsoft Business Central Snap Pack supports the following account types:

• Business Central OAuth2 Account

• Business Central Access Token Account

The permissions for the registered application are either Delegated or Application based on the account types.

1. On the left navigation panel, navigate to Manage, and select API permissions > Add a permission.
   
   

   Open

   

2. On the Request API permissions window, select Microsoft Graph > Dynamics 365 Business Central for the OAuth2 and Access Token Account.
   
   

   Open

   

3. Select Delegated Permissions or Application Permissions.
   
   

4. Select the permissions you require.
   
   

5. Click Add Permissions. You can view all the permissions added under Configured permissions.
   
   

6. Click Overview and select Add a Redirect URI. You will be redirected to the Platform configurations page.
   
   

   1. Under Platform configurations, click Add a platform.
      
      

   2. Select Web and specify the Redirect URI in the following format: 
      https://<control-plane-name>.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/<snap-pack-name>
      where the <control-plane-name> corresponds to the domain part of your SnapLogic URL—elastic (global control plane) or emea (EMEA control plane).
      For example:
      https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/businesscentral
https://emea.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/businesscentral

   3. Click Configure. A popup message indicates that the application is successfully updated.

4. Configure the following fields for the new record:

   1. In the Client ID field, specify the client ID that is generated from the registered application in the Azure Active Directory.

   2. In the Description field, specify a name for the application.
      
      

   3. Change the State to Enabled.

   4. In the User Permission Sets, select the ellipsis (…) and select the required Permission Set.
      
      

   5. Click Grant Consent to provide permission to access the Business Central Data.
      
      

Specify the Credentials and Validate the Snap Account

To authorize your account in the SnapLogic (R) Platform, you must have the following application credentials:

1. Navigate to the Business Central Snap of your choice and configure the Business Central OAuth2 Account with the details from the registered application in the Business Central Portal.
   
   

2. Click Authorize. You are redirected to the sign-in page of the Azure Portal.

3. Sign in to Azure Portal with valid credentials to redirect to the Snap Edit account settings dialog. The Access and Refresh tokens are auto-populated and encrypted in the Account settings.
