To get you started creating workflows more quickly, Logic Apps provides templates, which are prebuilt logic apps that follow commonly used patterns. Use these templates as provided or edit them to fit your scenario.
Here are some template categories:
| Template type | Description |
|---|---|
| Enterprise cloud templates | For integrating Azure Blob, Dynamics CRM, Salesforce, Box, and includes other connectors for your enterprise cloud needs. For example, you can use these templates to organize business leads or back up your corporate file data. |
| Personal productivity templates | Improve personal productivity by setting daily reminders, turning important work items into to-do lists, and automating lengthy tasks down to a single user approval step. |
| Consumer cloud templates | For integrating social media services such as Twitter, Slack, and email. Useful for strengthening social media marketing initiatives. These templates also include tasks such as cloud copying, which increases productivity by saving time on traditionally repetitive tasks. |
| Enterprise integration pack templates | For configuring VETER (validate, extract, transform, enrich, route) pipelines, receiving an X12 EDI document over AS2 and transforming to XML, and handling X12, EDIFACT, and AS2 messages. |
| Protocol pattern templates | For implementing protocol patterns such as request-response over HTTP and integrations across FTP and SFTP. Use these templates as provided, or build on them for complex protocol patterns. |
If you don't have an Azure subscription, sign up for a free Azure account before you begin. For more information about building a logic app, see Create a logic app.
-
If you haven't already, sign in to the Azure portal.
-
From the main Azure menu, choose Create a resource > Enterprise Integration > Logic App.
-
Create your logic app with the settings in the table under this image:
Setting Value Description Name your-logic-app-name Provide a unique logic app name. Subscription your-Azure-subscription-name Select the Azure subscription that you want to use. Resource group your-Azure-resource-group-name Create or select an Azure resource group for this logic app and to organize all resources associated with this app. Location your-Azure-datacenter-region Select the datacenter region for deploying your logic app, for example, West US. Log Analytics Off (default) or On Set up diagnostic logging for your logic app by using Azure Monitor logs. Requires that you already have a Log Analytics workspace. -
When you're ready, select Pin to dashboard. That way, your logic app automatically appears on your Azure dashboard and opens after deployment. Choose Create.
[!NOTE] If you don't want to pin your logic app, you must manually find and open your logic app after deployment so you can continue.
After Azure deploys your logic app, the Logic Apps Designer opens and shows a page with an introduction video. Under the video, you can find templates for common logic app patterns.
-
Scroll past the introduction video and common triggers to Templates. Choose a prebuilt template. For example:
[!TIP] To create your logic app from scratch, choose Blank Logic App.
When you select a prebuilt template, you can view more information about that template. For example:
-
To continue with the selected template, choose Use this template.
-
Based on the connectors in the template, you are prompted to perform any of these steps:
-
Sign in with your credentials to systems or services that are referenced by the template.
-
Create connections for any services or systems referenced by the template. To create a connection, provide a name for your connection, and if necessary, select the resource that you want to use.
-
If you already set up these connections, choose Continue.
For example:
When you're done, your logic app opens and appears in the Logic Apps Designer.
[!TIP] To return to the template viewer, choose Templates on the designer toolbar. This action discards any unsaved changes, so a warning message appears to confirm your request.
-
-
Continue building your logic app.
[!NOTE] Many templates include connectors that might already have prepopulated required properties. However, some templates might still require that you provide values before you can properly deploy the logic app. If you try to deploy without completing the missing property fields, you get an error message.
-
In the Azure portal, find and open your logic app in th Logic App Designer.
-
On the designer toolbar, choose Templates. This action discards any unsaved changes, so a warning message appears so you can confirm that you want to continue. To confirm, choose OK. For example:
-
Scroll past the introduction video and common triggers to Templates. Choose a prebuilt template. For example:
When you select a prebuilt template, you can view more information about that template. For example:
-
To continue with the selected template, choose Use this template.
-
Based on the connectors in the template, you are prompted to perform any of these steps:
-
Sign in with your credentials to systems or services that are referenced by the template.
-
Create connections for any services or systems referenced by the template. To create a connection, provide a name for your connection, and if necessary, select the resource that you want to use.
-
If you already set up these connections, choose Continue.
Your logic app now opens and appears in the Logic Apps Designer.
-
-
Continue building your logic app.
[!TIP] If you haven't saved your changes, you can discard your work and return to your previous logic app. On the designer toolbar, choose Discard.
Note
Many templates include connectors that might have already pre-populated required properties. However, some templates might still require that you provide values before you can properly deploy the logic app. If you try to deploy without completing the missing property fields, you get an error message.
After you make your changes to the template, you can save your changes. This action also automatically publishes your logic app.
On the designer toolbar, choose Save.
