Enterprise Integration with Azure Logic Apps

By: Matthew Bennett

Overview of this book

Logic Apps are a visual flowchart-like representation of common programming actions, and are a flexible way to create logic without writing a single line of code. Enterprise Integration with Azure Logic Apps is a comprehensive introduction for anyone new to Logic Apps which will boost your learning skills and allow you to create rich, complex, structured, and reusable logic with instant results. You'll begin by discovering how to navigate the Azure portal and understand how your objects can be zoned to a specific environment by using resource groups. Complete with hands-on tutorials, projects, and self-assessment questions, this easy-to-follow guide will teach you the benefits and foundations of Logic App logic design. As you advance, you'll find out how to manage your Azure environment in relation to Logic Apps and how to create elegant and reliable Logic Apps. With useful and practical explanations of how to get the most out of Logic App actions and triggers, you'll be able to ensure that your Logic Apps work efficiently and provide seamless integration for real-world scenarios without having to write code. By the end of this Logic Apps book, you'll be able to create complex and powerful Logic Apps within minutes, integrating large amounts of data on demand, enhancing your systems, and linking applications to improve user experience.

Triaging error data to ensure the logic is more robust

Now that we know that we can determine the status of a section of the logic app that might have failed, we can add control logic to send a message to the user alerting them of a problem.

As a cloud developer managing complex logic, I have to do this all the time. We have complex, closed systems that are not really meant to communicate with other systems but are using logic apps as an intermediary step to surface data and copy it over to other systems. Checks and balances take place within the logic app, but invariably users might miss important information such as item codes, or other key information that due to its omission means that the logic app cannot continue. Having a mechanism to catch these errors and immediately send a message to the user advising them that a problem has occurred will ensure that they can recheck their work and resubmit, rather than the lengthy process of raising Service Desk tickets and opening an...
