Notification to that no vendor record exists for employee creating expense report

Posted on by
Good day Dynamics community,
 
My client is a service delivery organization and many (but not all) employees will need to submit expense reports.
 
In an effort to reduce unused vendor accounts and save time during employee onboarding, it was asked if there was any options for a notification to be created if the employee did not have a vendor account associated with their employee record.

Desired process would be:
 
Employee Creates Expense Report
Employee Submits to Workflow
Expense Report Approved
<If Employee not associated to Vendor, notification sent>
Post Expense Reports
 
Has anyone implemented anything similar, or ideas on how we could achieve this? 
 
Thanks!

    Hi Morgan,
     
    Anthony is correct about using business events. Workflow actions can be enabled as business events. This is a configuration and not a customization. You can then create a Power Automate flow to send a notification. You can even automate the creation of a vendor account based on the Employee details using Power Automate.

    I would probably be doing something with custom business events & Logic Apps or Power Automate.
