How to connect logic App with APIM

In a cloud-first world, seamless integrations are the backbone of modern applications. Azure Logic Apps and API Management (APIM) are two powerful tools that enable businesses to automate workflows and manage APIs effectively.
By connecting Logic Apps to APIM, you can expose your automated workflows as APIs, ensuring they are secure, scalable, and easy to manage. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the process of integrating Logic Apps with APIM to maximize the potential of your Azure ecosystem.

1. What Are Logic Apps and API Management?

Logic Apps:
Logic Apps is an Azure service for automating workflows, integrating various systems, and processing data efficiently. Whether it’s connecting SaaS apps, on-premises systems, or cloud services, Logic Apps excels at simplifying complex integrations.

API Management (APIM):
APIM is an Azure service that allows you to publish, manage, secure, and monitor APIs. It acts as a gateway for APIs, providing essential features like throttling, caching, and access control.

2. Why Integrate Logic Apps with APIM?

• • Secure Workflows: Expose Logic App workflows as secure APIs with custom authentication and throttling.

• • Centralized Management: Monitor and manage APIs in one place.

• • Enhanced Reusability: Enable Logic App workflows to serve as reusable services across multiple applications.

Step-by-Step Guide to Connecting Logic Apps with APIM

Step 1: Open Azure APIM and click on APIs

Step 2: Click on Add API and Logic app from the Azure Resource

Step 3: Browse for the logic app and give the in APIM

Step 4: Click on test to test the APIM request

Step 5: Check the URL and send the request

After sending the request from APIM you can check the logic app is triggered.

Conclusion

Integrating Azure Logic Apps with API Management is a game-changer for building secure, scalable, and manageable API-driven solutions. This integration empowers businesses to expose their workflows as reusable APIs, enhance security, and maintain centralized control.
