4. What Azure Logic Apps Are...
Azure Logic Apps is a (PaaS – Platform as a Service or better WaaS – Workflow as a Service) cloud service
that helps you automate and orchestrate tasks, workflows and business processes when we need to integrate
systems, apps, and other services across enterprises or organizations.
Trigger
(A record is created on D365 Instance)
Action
(The list of items arrived to a SB queue )

5. 2. Control (If, Switch, Loop)
3. Actions
1. Trigger

6. AZURE LOGIC APPS COMPONENTS
Connectors
Triggers
Actions
Connectors can also be selected to achieve
communication to 3rd party apps
To start a logic app process, you need first to define a
trigger jump, such as Polling, Push Or Recurrence trigger
Actions can be included in a trigger and are responsible
to do things inside a logic app
Flow Control (Conditions): A flow
control can easily be defined
using drag and drop to include
actions Like, do until, for each
etc.

7. HOW WE CAN INITIATE A FLOW
Build In
Standard
Enterprise
✓ + 200 Connectors (Triggers, Actions, Custom Connectors – REST API)

8. TYPE OF CONNECTORS
Outlook Twitter Gmail SQL
Azure Functions
MS Dataverse Azure Storage

9. • Polling Triggers: A Polling trigger checks frequently service and gets triggered when new data is available
TRIGGERS - ACTIONS
• Publishing Triggers: A Publishing trigger listens for data on an endpoint and if an event occurs, then gets triggered
• Actions: The type of Actions that we can find in Azure Logic Apps are:
• Built-in Actions (Compose, HTTP, Join, Parse JSON, Response, etc.)
• Control Workflow Actions (For Each, If, Scope, Switch, Until)
• Managed API Actions (ApiConnection, ApiConnectionWebhook)

10. CREATE A LOGIC APP
Azure Portal Visual Studio Visual Studio Code

11. DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
For every change in the Logic App
a new version is available.
A code view is available for the
Logic App workflow in a json form.
An API connection is a wrapper to
external systems that uses
particular Azure Resources
A designer view is available to
make changes to the logic app
workflow

12. WHY USE AZURE LOGIC APPS
• No worries about infrastructure
• Visual Designer – Codeless and easy to use
• Scalable
• Over 200 connectors across multiple environments (On-premises, Hybrid Cloud,
Multi Cloud)
• Pay as you go billing system
• Built-in extensibility (Develop a custom connector depending your needs)

17. PRICING PAY-AS-YOU-GO MODEL
PRICE PER EXECUTION
Actions (Built-in) € 0,000022
Standard Connector € 0,000106
Enterprise Connector € 0,000844
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/logic-apps/
➢ A Logic App workflow of 8 actions (3 (Managed or Standard Connectors) & 5 Built-in)
➢ Polling: 129.600 * 0,000106 = € 13,74
SUM = Polling Trigger = € 13,74 + Built-in Actions = € 4,4 + Standard Connector Executions = € 12,72 = € 30,86
➢ Polling Trigger Run every 20 sec (3 times per minute * 60 minutes *24 hours * 30 days) =
129. 600 Standard Connector Actions
➢ 5000 per month * 8 actions = 40.000
➢ Built-in Action Executions : (40.000 * 5) * 0,000022= € 4,4
➢ Standard Connector Executions : (40.000 * 3) * 0,000106= € 12,72
