Connectors (Business Central & Dynamics)

Kanso connects to Microsoft Business Central and Dynamics to pull live data into datasets. This page explains how to set up a connection, browse the available tables, and keep syncs healthy.

What connectors do

Connectors link Kanso to Microsoft Business Central and Dynamics so that live data flows into your datasets. Instead of exporting and importing files, you connect once and pull the data you need directly from your ERP.

Setting up a connection

Setup uses OAuth, and Kanso auto-discovers the available environments and companies for you, so you pick from a list rather than typing identifiers by hand.

  1. Authenticate with OAuth

    Sign in through OAuth to authorize Kanso to connect to Business Central or Dynamics.
  2. Pick an environment

    Choose from the environments Kanso auto-discovers rather than entering them manually.
  3. Pick a company

    Select the company you want to connect, again from the discovered list.
Tip:Because environments and companies are discovered automatically, there are no IDs to look up or transcribe.

Browsing tables and fields

A table browser discovers the available entities so you can choose exactly what you need. You pick the tables and fields both when configuring the connector and when building a dataset from it.

  • The table browser discovers the entities that are available to you
  • Select the tables and fields you need in the connector
  • Select tables and fields again when building a dataset

Connection scope

Connections are scoped per company. Each company has its own connections, keeping ERP data cleanly separated between them.

Sync reliability

Syncs are transaction-safe, and per-request failures are retried automatically so transient problems do not derail a sync. If a connection ends up in an errored state, it is reported in the daily email digest.

Note:Because errored connections surface in the daily email digest, a broken sync does not fail silently — someone is told it needs attention.
