    • Using Dynamics 365 Workflows — Start flows automatically from Dynamics 365 CE background workflows using the Start Flow and Flow Output workflow steps.

  • Trigger Smart Flows from Power Platform — Use a Power Automate HTTP trigger to launch a flow and pass data back to Dynamics without user intervention.
