Business Central API Integration

An integration architecture for connecting Business Central with external applications using REST APIs, authentication, HTTP communication, JSON and webhook-driven workflows.

Business CentralAL DevelopmentSolution Architecture

01 · Problem

External systems need secure, predictable ways to exchange ERP data. The integration must handle authentication, payload validation, errors, throttling and changing data without creating fragile dependencies.

02 · Architecture

External Application ↔ REST API / Webhook ↔ Business Central

Data mapping • Validation • Business logic • Error handling

03 · Implementation

  • Standard and custom API concepts
  • OAuth 2.0 authentication
  • HttpClient request and response handling
  • JSON parsing and serialization
  • Webhooks and event-driven synchronization
  • HTTP error and throttling handling

04 · Development workflow

BuildDesign AL objects, APIs, datasets or UI extensions around clear responsibilities.
ValidateCheck data mapping, filters, payloads and edge cases before release.
TestExercise success paths, failures and integration boundaries.

06 · Testing & quality

Validation focuses on expected data flow, empty or invalid inputs, integration failures and maintainability. The case study is presented as a Dynexal technical project and does not claim third-party production metrics.

07 · Result

A reusable integration blueprint for building maintainable Business Central connections with modern web applications and external services.
