Introduction To Azure Logic Apps

In this article, we will explore creating Azure Logic apps. Before getting started with Azure Logic apps creation let’s take an overview of Azure Logic apps. The Azure Logic app is a service that is offered by cloud computing that is offered to users for scheduling tasks on time and performing tasks with the help of it. Thanks to logic apps we can design and build scalable solutions for integrating the application, system integration with enterprise integration. The logic apps are a full integration platform as a service (IPaaS) which will be much more helpful for the developers to feel free about building, hosting, and management.

So, with the help of logic apps, the pros include creating a useful integration workflow that solves user needs. Today we can see that our businesses/ organizations are moving their business towards digitalization, thus leading to focusing on business logic along with functionality. Since logic apps are very simple to create and use, logic apps don’t need much programming skills and technical knowledge.

Let’s take an overview of the workflow of an Azure Logic app

The template that will we use in Azure Logic apps will have the basic building blocks of a flow. Each flow will contain a combination of triggers, actions, and loops with conditions.

• The Trigger will kick-start the flow.
• The actions will accomplish the task flow.
• The loop will iterate the actions over the condition.
• Overall with the help of controls, the logic flow will be applied to all.

Advantages of using Azure Logic apps

The major advantages of using Azure Logic apps are

• They are easy and convenient to design complex processes with design tools.
• The logical implementation can be done without any workflow.
• The Azure logic apps contain pre-defined templates and as well a blank logic app is also available.
• The logical implementation of the workflow without the code is possible.

Connectors

The connectors are the major part of creating automated workflows with Azure logic apps. The Azure logic apps have 100+ connectors so that we can create and manage the workflow.

Where can logic apps be used?

The Microsoft Azure Logic apps can be used by anyone who ever needs the automated workflow. Some of the areas that will be using Azure Logic apps include sectors like corporations, enterprises, and all.

Pricing tier

The pricing tier of the Azure logic app is directly related to actions and based on workflow it will be charged.

Setting up

An Active Azure Login Subscription

Step 1. Log in to your Azure portal by using this link.

Create new resource >> Integration >>Logic app.

Step 2. Here comes the setting up stage, now we need to provide the required inputs for creating an Azure Logic app.

Provide a name for the Logic App.

Create a new resource group or select an existing resource group.

Select >>datacentre location & Select >>Create.

Step 3. Now we can see the deployment process is underway and it will take some time for the process to get completed.

After the resource has been created, we can see that the resource group has been successfully created.

The logic app designer window will show the predefined templates as well as a blank logic app.

This is an intro to creating a simple Azure Logic App, and in my next article, we will explore creating an Azure Logic app by connecting with cognitive services and with the Azure Function App.

Summary

In this article, we have seen an overview of an Azure Logic App and its use, and from this article, we have only seen about creating a basic logic app. In my next article, we will explore integrating Azure logic apps with cognitive services and function apps. I hope this article will be useful to you. Thanks for reading.
