Web Connect Outgoing Sync Triggers #
The Web Connect Outgoing Sync Triggers module defines when Microsoft Business Central should automatically send updated data to external systems.
Where Web Connect Outgoing Data Web controls what is sent, the Sync Trigger controls when it should be sent.
Sync Triggers allow you to:
- Monitor changes in Business Central tables
- Trigger exports based on Insert / Modify / Rename / Delete
- Trigger exports on document Release or Posting
- Filter which records are eligible for export
- Perform incremental syncs for large datasets
- Ensure that all external systems stay aligned with Business Central data at all times
Each trigger is linked directly to a Web Connect Object, and defines how that object enters the Web Connect Outbound Log LÄNK.
How Outgoing Sync Triggers Work #
The flow is always:
A record in Business Central changes, is created, renamed, or deleted #
Examples:
- Item price changes
- Item value changes
- Sales Order is released
- A customer is updated
- A transfer order is shipped
Sync Trigger evaluates whether this change should generate an outgoing sync #
Triggers can be based on:
- Table
- Specific fields
- Events (release, posting)
- Filters
- Incremental data checks
If conditions matchWeb Connect creates an Web Connect Outbound Log LÄNK. #
This entry is visible under Web Connect Outgoing Data Web.
Field Reference #
This section explains each field in Outgoing Sync Triggers, what it does and when it should be used. Use it as a quick guide when configuring triggers for items, customers, orders, or logistics documents.
General Trigger Configuration #
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Trigger by Object | The Web Connect Object that should be triggered for export. This determines how the outgoing message will be structured. |
| Trigger by Table No. | The Business Central table linked to the object. The trigger monitors this table for changes. |
| Relation/Filter Code Trigger–Outgoing | Specifies the relation between the Trigger Object and the exported Web Object. Used to define how linked records are located. (Configured in Web Connect Table Filter/Relation – separate doc.) |
| Trigger Table Filter Code | Optional filter code to exclude certain records. Soon replaced by “Trigger By Table View”. |
| Trigger By Table View | A table view filter that limits which records may trigger an export. If blank → all records are eligible. Example: only Items with Status = Active. |
| Trigger on Insert | If enabled, new records will trigger an outgoing entry. |
| Trigger on Modify | Triggers when a record is updated. If “Some fields” is selected, you specify which fields must change. |
| Trigger on Modify Fields | List of specific fields that must change for a trigger to occur. Example: Description, Tariff No., Weight, EAN, Inventory. |
| Trigger on Rename | Fires when the primary key changes. Useful for items, customers, or SKU renames. |
| Trigger on Delete | Exports a deletion message. Typically used only when the external system must explicitly mark something as removed. |
| Trigger on Release/Post | Triggers when a document is Released or Posted. Used heavily for logistics flows: picking, shipping, receiving, returns. |
| Trigger on Job Queue Run | Fires during “WCM Export Trigger Events” job queue execution. |
| Trigger on Incremental Check | Enables incremental scanning of unsynced records (highly scalable). |
| Last Incremental Record Id | Identifies where the last incremental scan stopped. Used to continue scanning efficiently. |
| Incremental Check | Defines how often incremental checks run: Always, Hourly, Every 4 hours, Every 24 hours. |
| Incremental Check Last Datetime | Timestamp for last incremental check. |
Practical Examples #
These examples show common ways Outgoing Sync Triggers are used in real integrations. They demonstrate how trigger settings automate outbound data flows in Business Central.
Item Sync to WMS/PIM #
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Trigger by Object | ITEM_EXPORT |
| Trigger by Table | Item |
| Trigger on Modify | Some Fields |
| Modify Fields | Description, Weight, Tariff No., Base Unit of Measure |
| Trigger by Table View | Status = Active |
Result:
Whenever an active item is updated, a new outgoing item sync is queued.
Sales Order Released #
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Trigger by Object | SALES HEADER |
| Table | Sales Header |
| Trigger on Release/Post | Enabled |
Result:
Releasing the order automatically sends a Goods Out Request to WMS.
New Customer Created → Sync to CRM #
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Trigger on Insert | Enabled |
| Table | Customer |
| Object | CUSTOMER_EXPORT |
Result:
A new CRM customer is automatically created externally.
Stock changes → Sync to e-commerce platform #
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Table | Item Ledger Entry |
| Trigger on Insert | Enabled |
| Table View | Remaining Quantity <> 0 |
Result:
Every inventory change triggers an availability update.
Incremental Export of All Items Once Every 4 Hours #
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Trigger on Incremental Check | Enabled |
| Incremental Check | Every 4 hours |
| Trigger Table View | Only items with field “Web Enabled” = TRUE |
Result:
A safe and scalable sync for large catalogs.
