2. Azure Logic Apps
Design workflows that start from a trigger and then execute a series of steps, each securely invoking an App Service, while handling authentication, “checkpointing” and durable execution.

3. Supported Languages & Tools
Logic Apps can be designed end-to-end in the browser or with Visual Studio tools. Enterprise Integration can also leverage powerful enterprise- level workflow products such as Microsoft BizTalk.

6. The Azure Logic App Environment
Logic Apps are part of the new “Web + Mobile” Suite
Logic App management is not available via the “Classic” Azure Portal
Create and manage Logic Apps in:
Azure Management Portal
Visual Studio 2015
Enterprise workflow integration tools such as BizTalk

9. Trigger Types Request Makes the Logic App an endpoint
Recurrence Fires based on a defined schedule
HTTP Polls an HTTP web endpoint
ApiConnection Polls like the HTTP trigger using the Microsoft managed APIs
HTTPWebhook Opens an endpoint, similar to the Manual trigger, however, it also calls out to a specified URL to register and unregister
ApiConnectionWebhook Operates like the HTTPWebhook trigger using the Microsoft managed APIs

10. Standard Action Types
HTTP Calls an HTTP web endpoint.
ApiConnection Similar to the HTTP action, but uses the Microsoft managed APIs.
ApiConnectionWebhook Similar to an HTTPWebhook, but uses the Microsoft managed APIs.
Response Defines a response for an incoming call
Wait Waits a fixed amount of time or until a specific time
Workflow A nested workflow.

11. Collection Action Types
Scope A logical grouping of other actions.
Condition Evaluates an expression and executes the corresponding result branch
ForEach Will iterate over an array and perform inner actions for each item
Until Will execute inner actions until a condition results to true

12. Connectors, Triggers, and Actions

13. Basic Scenarios
Perform recurring workflows, like checking a website or service
Listen for event from a service, like a new , file, work item, or status update
Call an Azure function
Send an or status update
Perform a search against a service

14. Basic Scenarios

15. Advanced Scenarios
Listen for service status updates and send results or partial results to
Listen for file uploads or content updates and trigger notifications
Copy or move new file from one location to another based on properties or metadata
Polling services or website and moving content to a storage queue or blob container
Automatically updating work item status
Automatically posting status updates with content from a function

16. Advanced Scenarios

17. Hybrid Scenarios Integrating Supported Connectors
Leveraging Azure Function Apps
Connecting to a Notification Hub
Starting and integration with default templates
Connecting to other Logic Apps as an Action
Publishing from Visual Studio 2015

18. Hybrid Scenarios

19. Next Steps
Review and practice with the existing Azure Logic app templates
Start migrating existing workflows to Azure Logic Apps
Start working with Azure Function Apps to create your own webhook functions to integrate into your logic trees
Evaluate your Azure Resource and Storage configurations

21. Tips & Tricks
The new Azure Portal seems to respond better when using Firefox. Internet Explorer seems to respond better than Edge.
Get familiar with Logic Apps Workflow Definition Language:
When you first start developing Azure Logic Apps give your Logic apps “junky” names. This makes it easier to go out and delete services afterwards so you don’t get charged for them.
If a Logic App has an issue initiating, make a minor edit and try again. Some connectors may still be in BETA.
