What it does

AL Bridge connects Business Central online with local operations through an encrypted job queue and a local agent. The agent can run printing, file operations, processes, and carrier jobs on-premise, while cloud services handle PDF, GRF, and P7M operations. A generic REST client sends requests to external APIs using Basic Auth or Bearer Token.

Key capabilities

from the Microsoft Marketplace listing

Encrypted job queue

Modules queue encrypted jobs for the local agent to verify, decrypt, execute, and return with a status.

File-system operations

The add-in can create, check, move, copy, read, and delete files and folders, extract XML, and read inbound folders.

Document cloud services

Cloud services convert PNG files to GRF, create PDFs from JSON templates, count PDF pages, and decode P7M files with attachment extraction.

Generic REST client

The REST client sends requests with Basic Auth or Bearer Token authentication, headers, and request bodies.

Job monitoring

The add-in provides a PDF viewer and job logs.

Use cases

  • An inbound e-invoicing folder can be read and XML extracted for processing.
  • A Business Central module can call an external carrier API through the REST client.
