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.

Trigger IDs

A logic app will start to process data when the trigger condition has been met. However, this trigger can only be set to start the logic app (referred to as firing) if any specific requirements in the Trigger settings are also met. Here are two examples of where you could restrict the firing of a logic app:

  • The filter field has not been updated. Here, we have a Dataverse (Common Data Service) standard trigger action, such as Update a row:

Figure 9.10 – The Column Filters parameter restricts when a logic app fires

In the preceding example, the logic app will only fire when a change has been made to the statuscode field on the record. If the user saves other changes, these will be ignored, and the logic app will not fire. This is an incredibly useful trick to ensure that logic app integration or processing the D365 record will only work when certain conditions have been met. In the process of creating a Tenancy record, the user...
