Announcing General Availability of Resume from Action in Logic Apps

We’re thrilled to announce that the Resume from Action feature in Azure Logic Apps is now generally available (GA)! This milestone builds on the momentum from its public preview, bringing enhanced reliability and debugging capabilities to your workflows. With GA, we’re introducing a brand-new API that further enriches the feature's usability and automation potential.

What is Resume from Action?

This feature allows you to restart your Logic App workflow from any action, saving time and effort during troubleshooting. Instead of restarting the workflow from the beginning, this functionality enables a targeted resumption, improving efficiency when debugging complex workflows.

For example, if a workflow fails due to an issue with an SQL connection, you can fix the SQL issue and resume the workflow from the action where it failed by right-clicking on the failed action in Run History view, rather than rerunning the entire process. This makes it much easier to recover and continue operations without unnecessary delays.

Note: With respect to control actions like For-each, Do-Until and If, you may have to resume from the action before.
