Full description text​

Bifrost Orchestrator keeps the Business Central job queue running and turns routines into playbooks that run themselves. It supervises job queue entries, restarts them when they fail and tells you when it matters. Its playbooks chain Bifröst operations, the complete Business Central tasks that Bifrost Foundation and the other Bifröst apps provide, into routines that run on request or on a schedule. Bifröst takes Business Central out to the assistant your people already use, so an assistant can run, schedule and help build those routines too.

Who is this for?​

Business Central administrators, IT teams and the people who own recurring routines: anyone who runs scheduled background jobs in Business Central and needs them supervised, restarted and reported on, or who wants a recurring task done the same way every time.

Target industries: Professional services, manufacturing, distribution, retail: any business that runs scheduled jobs in Business Central.

What it does​

  • Job queue supervision — Monitors job queue entries and restarts them when they fail, by a retry policy per entry (always, up to three times, or never). Reusable recurring templates hold the schedule.
  • E-mail and Telegram notifications — Sends an alert when a job fails or is restarted. Telegram messages go to each user's chat ID; e-mail uses Business Central's own e-mail accounts.
  • Playbooks — Routines of steps, each one a Bifröst operation in Business Central. A step can use values from earlier steps, repeat for every element of a list, and go one way on success and another on failure, with conditions that decide whether a step runs.
  • Scheduled playbooks — Run a playbook on a recurring schedule through the job queue, run it once in the background with its own input, or start it from an assistant.
  • Reports on request — Find a report, run it with explicit options or with the user's saved request page options, and save it as PDF, Excel, Word or XML, with a layout chosen for that run only. Report layouts can be listed, exported and imported.
  • Execution log — Every playbook run is kept with a log per step: what the step sent, what it received and how long it took.
  • Assisted setup — Guided setup of HTTP requests and the management job queue entry. Secrets such as the Telegram bot token are kept in Bifröst's secret store.

How it works​

  1. Put job queue entries under Bifrost Orchestrator — it supervises them and restarts them when they fail.
  2. Choose a notification type (None, EMail, Telegram) per entry to be alerted when a job fails or is restarted.
  3. Build playbooks from steps that call Bifröst operations in order, passing values between steps.
  4. Run playbooks by hand, on a schedule, or from an assistant.
