How to Connect an AI Assistant to Business Central

Install the Zentriq AL extension in your BC environment, sign in with your Microsoft Entra ID account, and the AI assistant appears in your BC sidebar. OAuth 2.0 handles authentication — no API keys or passwords to manage.

Step-by-step guide

1

Sign up on Zentriq

Go to zentriqsoftware.com and sign in with your Microsoft account. This creates your Zentriq account linked to your Entra ID.

2

Download the BC extension

In the Zentriq dashboard, go to Setup and download the AL extension (.app file) for your BC environment.

3

Install in Business Central

In BC, go to Extension Management. Upload the .app file and install it. The extension adds API endpoints that the Agent uses to read and write data.

4

Authorize the connection

Back in the Zentriq dashboard, click 'Connect Environment'. Select your BC tenant and environment. OAuth 2.0 handles the authorization flow.

5

Start using the Agent

Open Business Central. You'll see the Zentriq Agent sidebar. Click it and start asking questions or uploading documents.

The faster way with Zentriq

The Zentriq Agent uses OAuth 2.0 delegated access — it inherits your BC permission sets. It can never access more data than you can, and every write action requires your explicit approval.
