Automate business processes using Dynamics 365 process

 

Applies To: Dynamics 365 (online), Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Dynamics CRM 2016, Dynamics CRM Online

Business processes are an integral part of any enterprise software application. A business process can be of two types: automated processes that rely solely on communication among applications based on a set of rules, and interactive processes that also rely on people to initiate and run the process, and to make the appropriate decisions during the running of the process.

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online & on-premises), a process enables you to create and manage your automated and interactive business processes. While the name has been changed from workflow to process, the entity that’s used to implement a process is still called workflow. A Microsoft Dynamics 365 process provides many out-of-the-box components that business users and administrators can use to model their business processes. Microsoft Dynamics 365 also offers developers a mechanism to extend and customize the standard behavior of processes to achieve the functionality that their business applications require by allowing them to develop custom components.

A Microsoft Dynamics 365 process is based on the Windows Workflow Foundation programming model. Windows Workflow Foundation provides a runtime engine, a framework, a base library of activities, and default implementations of the runtime services. The Windows Workflow Foundation runtime engine manages process execution, and supports processes that can remain active for extended periods of time. It preserves the state of process execution during computer shutdown and restart.
