Why teams connect Autopilot and Dynamics 365 Business Central

Ground Autopilot on the customers, suppliers, items, and transactions that live in Dynamics 365 Business Central, and write the classifications, scores, and extracted fields Autopilot produces back onto those records in real time.

An AI system does not keep customers, orders, or invoices the way an ERP does. What it keeps is derived: the vectors and metadata in a store, or the classifications, extracted fields, and generated text a model produces over records it was handed. Dynamics 365 Business Central is where those source records actually live, across finance, operations, procurement, and inventory, and that data usually stays behind a strict API with many record types. Whatever Autopilot produces, whether a category, a risk flag, an extracted value, or an embedding, only earns its keep when it lands back on the record in Dynamics 365 Business Central where the business is run.

Stacksync connects Contacts, Lists, Custom Fields, Smart Segments in Autopilot with Purchase Orders, General Ledger Entries, Journals, Dimensions in Dynamics 365 Business Central and keeps the two sides in sync in real time. Purchase Orders, General Ledger Entries, Journals, Dimensions from Dynamics 365 Business Central replicate into Autopilot continuously, so retrieval, classification, and reasoning run against current ERP records instead of last night's extract, and the fields Autopilot generates sync back onto the matching record in Dynamics 365 Business Central. Mapping is field-level, matching is on identifiers you choose, and Stacksync handles the ERP's API limits and schema drift, so there is no extraction pipeline to build or babysit.

Because every AI-side item carries the key of the record it came from, results always resolve to the right customer, supplier, or transaction. Autopilot reasons over the business as it actually is within seconds of a change, and the people running operations act on model output where they already work, without exporting a file or logging into a second system.

Common use cases

  • 01 Upsert Contacts from a CRM or product database into Autopilot so new signups and profile changes flow into email and SMS journeys without manual CSV imports.
  • 02 Add contacts to a Journey from a database event or CRM stage change to start automated onboarding or nurture sequences.
  • 03 Replicate GL entries and dimensions into a SQL database for financial reporting without giving analysts ERP logins.
  • 04 Sync vendor and purchase order data with procurement or AP automation tools.

Common sync patterns

Continuous freshness, no reload

As records are created or corrected in Dynamics 365 Business Central, the copy held in Autopilot updates within seconds, so the model side never reasons over stale ERP data.

One consistent identity across both systems

A customer, supplier, item, or transaction in Dynamics 365 Business Central maps to the corresponding entry in Autopilot, so every AI result attaches to the right entity on both sides.

Document extraction round-trip

Purchase orders, invoices, or other documents flow from Dynamics 365 Business Central into Autopilot for parsing or classification, and the structured result returns to the record it came from.

What you can sync between Autopilot and Dynamics 365 Business Central

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Autopilot objects Dynamics 365 Business Central objects How this pairing syncs
Activities Per-contact activity and event history (opens, clicks, journey steps); read-only feed used for engagement reporting. Customers Core master data synced with CRMs so sales and finance share one customer list. Activities is specific to Autopilot and Customers to Dynamics 365 Business Central — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Core people records (email, name, custom fields, list and segment membership); upserted two-way as the primary sync object. Vendors Supplier master data synced with procurement and AP automation tools. Contacts is specific to Autopilot and Vendors to Dynamics 365 Business Central — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lists Static contact lists; membership is readable per list and writable by adding or removing contacts. Items Product and inventory records aligned with e-commerce and warehouse systems. Lists is specific to Autopilot and Items to Dynamics 365 Business Central — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Fields User-defined contact properties (string, number, date, boolean); discovered so field keys map cleanly to destination columns. Sales Orders Order headers and lines created from external channels and read back for fulfillment status. Custom Fields is specific to Autopilot and Sales Orders to Dynamics 365 Business Central — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Smart Segments Rule-based dynamic audiences; membership is computed by Autopilot, so it is read-only over the API. Sales Invoices Billing documents synced to CRMs and payment platforms. Smart Segments is specific to Autopilot and Sales Invoices to Dynamics 365 Business Central — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Journeys (Triggers) Automation journeys; a contact can be added to a journey via its trigger endpoint to start automated email or SMS sequences. Purchase Orders Procurement documents exchanged with supplier-facing systems. Journeys (Triggers) is specific to Autopilot and Purchase Orders to Dynamics 365 Business Central — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Autopilot and Dynamics 365 Business Central

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Autopilot Dynamics 365 Business Central Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Autopilot for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No CDC.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Dynamics 365 Business Central through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Dynamics 365 Business Central Autopilot Sub-second propagation

DetectionDynamics 365 Business Central notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. API webhooks (change notifications on subscribed entities) plus polling on lastModifiedDateTime.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Autopilot through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Autopilot: The REST API is capped at 100 requests/minute per account; exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Enterprise plans can request a higher limit. Contact writes accept an array for bulk upsert, and list and segment reads paginate via a bookmark cursor.

How the Autopilot and Dynamics 365 Business Central connectors work

Autopilot

Integration surface
REST API (Autopilot v1); Autopilot rebranded to Ortto in 2021 and the newer Ortto API co-exists with the legacy Autopilot endpoints
Authentication
Per-account API key sent in the autopilotapikey request header (generated in account settings); requests use Content-Type application/json against https://api2.autopilothq.com/v1/
Change detection
No CDC; incremental sync polls the /contacts endpoint with bookmark cursor pagination and updated timestamps. Journey webhook actions can push specific contact events, but there is no general change-subscription webhook, so polling is the reliable path.
