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.

Chapter 9: Sharing Data with Other Logic Apps and APIs

As logic apps grow ever more complex, we can build them with reusable code parts. Common, repeatable logic can be used time and again by a series of other parent logic apps. A parent logic app refers to the starting logic app, where the initial trigger is located. On the other hand, a child logic app refers to the logic app that data is passed to for further processing. Large logic sequences are often split into parent and child logic apps. As such, this chapter will look at how to link logic apps together and share data between them.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Using a logic app action to call a child logic app
  • Using an HTTP call to trigger a further logic app
  • Using a request/response pair to share data between logic apps
