With a Logic App, you can create and run scalable workflows that are hosted in the Azure cloud. A graphical designer and connectors to hundreds of databases, APIs, and external applications and services make it possible to quickly create a workflow using Logic Apps.

To create a new Logic App, navigate to the Azure Portal, sign in and click the [Create a resource] button (Fig. 1).

On the start page, a video is available if you want a brief introduction to Logic Apps.

Below the video is a set of buttons that allow you to create a new workflow with a common trigger. A trigger is an action that starts a Logic App workflow.

The next section lists buttons for templates to perform some common tasks. Each template contains a trigger and one or more actions.

These buttons help to accelerate your development by providing some of the activities in a workflow and allowing you to fill in the specific properties.
