Get Weather Report To Your Mobile Using Azure Logic Apps

Introduction 

Azure Logic App is a cloud-based app that helps us to implement the Workflow in Azure and simplify the integrations. We can automate the process visually and the Workflow in Logic app designer so that we can add many connectors, which we can add to the Logic app. It is a simple and idle event service that is suited for the business process. Also, the Azure Logic app has the feature of connecting more than 100 connectors to it. With the help of connectors connecting with Azure Logic Apps, we can connect our apps and services with Azure Logic App and we can automate the tasks and workflows without writing lines of code.

So, in this article, we will explore creating an Azure Logic App and we will use the Azure Logic App with MS Weather and as well as with Nexmo.
