A hub that links your operations with the rest of your Microsoft ecosystem, the scope of Dynamics 365 Business Central integration includes connecting natively to Microsoft 365 apps, enabling:
- Invoice approvals directly in Outlook
- Real-time data exports to Excel
- Embedded Teams collaboration for finance and operations
This tight integration means fewer silos, faster workflows, and better visibility across departments.
Familiar Interfaces, Faster Adoption
Users donโt need to learn a new system from scratch. Business Centralโs interface is consistent with other Microsoft tools, making onboarding smoother and reducing training time.
Real-Time Data, Real-World Decisions


Because Business Central shares data across Microsoft 365, decision-makers get real-time insights without jumping between platforms. Whether itโs cash flow forecasting or inventory tracking, the information is always current and connected.
One of the many standout features of Business Central is its seamless integration with Microsoft Outlook, which enables users to manage the entire sales process without leaving their inbox.
Sales quotes can be created directly from an email, sent for customer approval, converted to invoices, and posted. This streamlined workflow all within Outlook not only saves time but also reduces the risk of errors by minimizing manual data entry.
Outlook integration also provides real-time access to customer financial data, such as aging reports and outstanding balances, helping sales teams make informed decisions on the spot. Features like automatic inventory recognition and attachment integration further enhance productivity, allowing users to respond quickly to customer requests and maintain accurate records with minimal effort.
More Real World Integrations




Copilot Studio and Teams can take Business Central and Outlook’s inegration even further, fully streamlining the customer onboarding process. From creating a new customer record to sending a welcome email, each step is integrated across applications to reduce manual effort and improve accuracy. Using Copilot Studio, you can built a bot embedded in Teams that guides users through structured data entry, capturing essential customer details and automatically transferring them to Business Central.
Managers can then approve new customer requests directly from Outlook or Teams, adding comments and ensuring proper oversight. Once approved, the system sends a personalized welcome email with login details and onboarding information, completing the process efficiently. This integration not only enhances productivity but also ensures a smooth and professional experience for new customers.
Bonus Tip: You can also reduce licensing costs by enabling team members to access Business Central data through Microsoft Teams. This approach allows users who donโt need full Business Central licenses to still view and interact with key business data, helping you stretch your licensing budget further. Team members without licenses can:
- Use a simplified UI tailored for read-only access
- View Business Central cards and card details
- Pin card details as tabs in Teams
- Access Business Central tabs shared in Teams
- Read table data (but cannot modify, create, or delete records)
