Connectors

A connector is a typed integration with an external service. The catalog covers 1,400+ services — Azure, SaaS apps, databases, and HTTP APIs — so most workflows can be built without writing custom code.

Connections are scoped to an application and managed under its Connections tab. Each connection captures the auth setup once and is reusable across every workflow in the app.

Application Connections tab

Built-in connectors run in-process with the runtime and require no external connection runtime:

  • HTTP / HTTPS — make arbitrary REST calls.
  • Schedule / Recurrence — time-based triggers.
  • Service Bus — queue and topic triggers and actions.
  • Event Hubs — event ingestion.
  • Azure Storage — blob, queue, table.
  • Cosmos DB — read and write items.
  • SQL — query and command against Azure SQL or SQL Server.
  • File System — read and write files on the host or a mounted share.
  • Inline JavaScript — a JS action with IntelliSense for quick logic.

Managed (cloud-hosted) connectors expose authenticated APIs to popular SaaS — Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, Salesforce, Slack, GitHub, ServiceNow, and many more. They’re configured via standard Logic-Apps-style connection objects.

  1. Add a connector action to a workflow.
  2. The designer prompts you to create or pick a connection.
  3. Sign in with the relevant identity (managed identity, OAuth account, API key — depends on the connector).
  4. The connection is reusable across workflows in the same application.

If a service isn’t covered by a managed connector, the built-in HTTP action handles arbitrary REST and JSON APIs. Combine it with the Parse JSON built-in to feed strongly-typed outputs into downstream actions.
