This chapter covers Azure Logic Apps, a visual workflow automation service. AZ-900 tests this under objective 2.2, as an integration/automation service.

A simple way to picture Azure Logic Apps
A workflow in a manual office process follows a sequence: receive a request, validate it, process it, notify the requestor. Azure Logic Apps lets you build similar workflows visually without writing code, using predefined actions and connectors.
What Logic Apps does
Logic Apps lets you build automated workflows that connect various services and systems, triggering actions based on events, without requiring code.
No-code visual design
Workflows are designed visually using actions and connectors, making them accessible to non-developers for simple automation scenarios.
Common use cases
Connecting SaaS applications (Salesforce, Office 365), automating notification workflows, data integration between systems — scenarios that would otherwise require custom code or complex middleware.
Create a logic app
A new logic app is created.
Define a trigger
An event that starts the workflow is defined (e.g., 'when an email arrives').
Add actions
Actions that follow the trigger are added (e.g., 'send a notification').
Save and run
The workflow is saved and executes automatically when triggered.
A company automates customer notification workflows: when a ticket is created, notify the customer; when resolved, send a follow-up email — all via a Logic App without code.
Objective 2.2 expects understanding of Logic Apps as a visual automation service, not deep workflow design knowledge.
Common wrong answer: confusing Logic Apps with Azure Functions — Functions run code; Logic Apps automate workflows visually.
Stable terms: Azure Logic Apps, workflow. Memory trick: Logic Apps = visual workflow automation, no-code integration between services.
Logic Apps provides visual workflow automation connecting various services.
No coding required for basic workflows.
Useful for automating business processes and service integrations.
Mistake
Logic Apps requires coding.
Correct
Logic Apps is designed for visual, no-code workflow building.
It's a visual, no-code platform for building automated workflows that connect services and trigger actions based on events.
