What is the Data Activator?
Data Activator is a No-code solution in Fabric, that makes it possible, Monitor events in data and automatically trigger actions.
Examples:
A machine reports via Business Central that a production order is late → a Teams alert is automatically triggered.

Stock levels fall below a defined threshold → a Power Automate workflow starts a reorder.

With the Data Activator, this process is proactive:
Events in the ERP are immediately recognized.
Actions start automatically without anyone having to check data manually.
Business processes are faster and more robust.
