Install the app

How you install AutoFlow depends on where your Business Central environment runs.

Prerequisites​

  • Business Central version 26 or newer.
  • A user with sufficient rights to install extensions (for online environments: an Administrator in the Microsoft 365 tenant; for on-premises: a user with SUPER permissions that is allowed to publish apps on the BC Server instance).

Business Central Online (SaaS) — from AppSource​

  1. Sign in to your Business Central environment.
  2. Open the Extension Marketplace (search for Extension Marketplace in the Tell Me bar).
  3. Search for AutoFlow by mse Software GmbH, or open the listing directly at appsource.microsoft.com/product/dynamics-365/msesoftwaregmbh1653230793499.autoflow.
  4. Choose Get it now and follow the AppSource dialog. You will be asked to:
    • accept the terms of use,
    • choose the environment in which AutoFlow should be installed.
  5. AppSource installs AutoFlow and its required components. The installation runs in the background and can take a few minutes.
  6. Once finished, open the target environment and continue with Activate the product.
tip

AutoFlow is installed per environment. If you manage multiple environments (for example a sandbox and a production environment), install it separately in each environment where you want to use it.

Business Central on-premises — from the mse download portal​

  1. Open the AutoFlow download portal at support.mse365.de/support/solutions/57000022346 and download the latest AutoFlow release matching your Business Central version. The archive contains the .app files for AutoFlow itself and any required dependencies.

  2. Copy the .app files to the Business Central server.

  3. On the server, open a Business Central Administration Shell (PowerShell) and publish the apps:

    Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance <YourInstance> -Path "<path>\AutoFlow.app" -PackageType Extension -SkipVerification

    Repeat the step for each .app file in the package. Install the dependencies first, then AutoFlow itself.

  4. Synchronise and install the app in every tenant where you want to use it:

    Sync-NAVApp    -ServerInstance <YourInstance> -Name "AutoFlow" -Version <Version> -Tenant <TenantId>
    Install-NAVApp -ServerInstance <YourInstance> -Name "AutoFlow" -Version <Version> -Tenant <TenantId>

  5. Continue with Activate the product.

tip

For a single-tenant installation, replace <TenantId> with default.

After installation​

After the install completes, AutoFlow is available in the system but not yet active. Opening most role centres shows a notification that asks you to activate the product. The next chapter walks you through that step.
