📝 This blog introduce early concepts of a pre-release functionality and is subject to change. Azure Logic Apps Standard offers you a powerful cloud orchestration engine, enabling you to build and run automated workflows that effortlessly integrate resources from various services, systems, apps, and data sources. Whether you're looking to streamline processes across a complex enterprise or simply reduce the need for extensive coding, this platform provides a solution that's both efficient and flexible. For those of you who require more control over workflow designs or want to leverage your expertise in frameworks like .NET and the Durable Tasks framework, Logic Apps Standard now introduces an exciting new feature: Codeful Workflows. With Codeful Workflows, you can define workflows using an imperative programming style, blending the flexibility of coding with the simplicity and operational strengths of Logic Apps. This means you can structure your workflows the way that makes sense to you while still tapping into the rich ecosystem of connectors and tools built into Logic Apps. What Are Codeful Workflows? Codeful Workflows expand the authoring and execution models of a Logic Apps Standard, offering developers the ability to implement, test and run workflows using an imperative programming model both locally and in the cloud. Built on frameworks like .NET and the Durable Tasks framework, Codeful Workflows allow you to structure workflows in code while seamlessly integrating with Logic Apps Standard rich connector ecosystem, and leverage its operational capabilities. The core elements of a Logic App workflow—triggers, actions and connections —are translated into durable task concepts within this codeful model: Triggers are implemented as Client Functions that invoke durable orchestrations, which contain the body of the workflow, blending logic implemented by the language primitives, with connections actions for external connectivity. Connector actions are presented as Activity Functions. The Logic Apps Connector ecosystem is exposed to you via an SDK, bringing discoverability and rich support for intelisense when creating action inputs, invoking actions or reusing action outputs in later steps. The SDK vastly simplifies the execution of those connectors, by wrapping them internally on a Activity Function, so you don’t need to create new activities for each connector action you want to invoke. Connections, which manages the connectivitiy between actions and end systems, remains unchanged, allowing you to setup once and share connections between multiple orchestrations and logic apps declarative workflows. Connector actions uses a reference to a connection, providing flexibility between local and cloud configurations. Using those building blocks, you can create workflows using familiar programming paradigms, while still benefiting from the easy configuration and operational feature of Logic Apps Standard. If you are an existing Logic Apps Standard customer, your codeful and visual workflows can coexist within the same application, bridging the gap between pro-code and low-code approaches. With those two execution models working hand in hand on the same application, Logic Apps Standard becomes a comprehensive orchestration tool that caters to all developer personas, from integration specialists to enterprise teams, with no cliffs on their experience. Creating Codeful Workflows Designing codeful workflows begins with creating a new Logic Apps project within Visual Studio Code, configured for .NET and the Durable Tasks framework. From triggers to actions, developers gain full flexibility to define their workflows programmatically. Implementing Triggers Triggers are the entry points of workflows, and in Codeful Workflows, they are defined as Client Functions. For example, an HTTP trigger can start a workflow when a request is received: [FunctionName("HelloTrigger")] public static async Task<HttpResponseMessage> HttpStart( [HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "get", "post")] HttpRequestMessage req, [DurableClient] IDurableOrchestrationClient starter, ILogger log) { var requestContent = await req.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); var workflowInput = new HTTPHelloInput { Greeting = $"Hello from Codeful workflows. You said '{requestContent}'" }; log.LogInformation("Workflow Input = '{workflowInput}'.", JsonSerializer.Serialize(workflowInput)); string instanceId = await starter.StartNewAsync("HelloOrchestrator", workflowInput); log.LogInformation("Started orchestration with ID = '{instanceId}'.", instanceId); return await starter.WaitForCompletionOrCreateCheckStatusResponseAsync(req, instanceId); } Using Connector Actions Both Managed and Service Provider Actions are available to be used within your orchestrations. They are organized in the SDK by type making it easy to find the right connector to use. Once you identify the action to use, you can use the rich intelisense interface to generate inputs and call the action directly in your orchestration code. Deployment and Operations Deploying Logic Apps Standard that uses both codeful and codeless workflows follows the same practices already available in Logic Apps Standard. Operational insights, such as endpoint visibility and execution monitoring, are provided within the Azure Portal, ensuring parity with the functionality available for codeless workflows. This cohesive deployment model allows organizations to maximize their resources and cater to diverse development needs, whether they require quick prototyping via low-code tools or robust, scalable solutions through pro-code implementations. Codeful Workflows and Intelligent Agents You can take advantage of codeful workflows and Logic Apps Standard Agent Loop to create new intelligent applications that embed advanced AI decision-making directly into your processes – enabling your apps and automation to not just follow predefined steps, but to reason, adapt, and act autonomously towards goals. See this demo where we share two approaches to implement agent loops – combining codeful and codeless workflows, where you can reuse existing workflows as tools, and writing agent loop actions directly with code: Looking for feedback on Codeful Workflows We are looking for early feedback on this feature.

Speaker Session Title Session Abstract Sebastian Meyer Intelligent Enterprise Integration – Automated Order Processing with AI and SAP This session explores how modern enterprises can streamline and safeguard their business operations through intelligent system integration. At the core is an AI-powered agent loop implemented in Logic Apps that automatically receives and parses flat files containing individual purchase orders. The Agent identifies critical order quantities and routes them to a business user for manual approval—ensuring compliance with internal control policies. Only approved Orders are transmitted to the SAP system. Finally, the enriched data—combining raw order details and SAP references—is automatically sent via email to the respective business partner. The result is a seamless, transparent, and scalable process that combines human oversight with AI-driven automation. Attendees will learn: - Create AI Agent Loops with Logic Apps - Bring in a Human in the loop - Re-using existing LA Workflows as Tools - Use Connectors to communicate with external Systems - Operational Aspects Toon Vanhoutte Smart invoice processing with Logic Apps Many organizations struggle with identifying the correct internal approver for incoming purchase invoices. It's a process that often involves time-consuming manual work, especially when no purchase order reference is available. In today’s era of generative AI, there must be a smarter way to streamline this challenge. Join me for an engaging session where I demonstrate how Microsoft Logic Apps Agent Loop can revolutionize invoice processing. You’ll see a live demo showcasing how structured data can be intelligently extracted from purchase invoices and how an AI-powered agent can reason over documented business rules to automatically determine the appropriate approver. No need for costly OCR solutions—just the power of Logic Apps and generative AI working together to simplify and accelerate your financial workflows. Michael Stephenson Can I unit test an agentic workflow with logic apps? In this session we will talk about the challenges of testing non deterministic workflows and look at how you might use the logic app unit test framework to be able to implement some testing strategies. Florian de Langhe Unlocking Excel Analytics: Logic Apps + Code Interpreter in Action Excel analysis has always been a challenge in Logic Apps workflows, limiting us to basic read/write operations while complex analytics required external services. This session demonstrates how the new Code Interpreter action, combined with intelligent looping patterns, unlocks powerful Python-driven analytical capabilities directly within your Logic Apps flows. Stephen W Thomas Exposing Your Logic App As An MCP Server – What, Why, and How? Have you heard all the buzz around MCP Servers, but don't really know how it can help you? This session will talk about why using MCP Servers with new and existing Logic Apps will open up new scenarios and gain maximum use across the enterprise. We will take a look at how easy it is to set this up today and expose your workflows to AI Agents. Stefano Demiliani Intelligent applications with Logic Apps and Private AI This session explores the powerful integration of the Azure Logic Apps platform with on-premises and private cloud AI solutions, enabling organizations to maintain data sovereignty while leveraging advanced AI features. You will learn practical implementation strategies and tips for creating intelligent workflows that incorporate private AI models (open LLMs hosted locally, like gpt-oss) for AI-enhanced business process automation, while respecting your organization's privacy and security requirements. Ahmed Bayoumy The “Quick Task” Trap and How Logic Apps agent loop Kills It A while ago i had a meeting with a new client in the cargo shipping business to map their integration landscape. Everything looked solid, most integrations had the usual needs, nothing out of the ordinary. Then they mentioned the “special bookings” that still land in an operator’s inbox. Yes, manual bookings still occur in the enterprise world. Each one seems tiny until you multiply it across a week, a month, and a year. Those interrupts also break the operations team’s focus. So why not build a Logic Apps agentic loop to take the ad hoc cases off people’s plates, while handing off the real edge cases to humans with full context? Sivaji Gullipalli Boosting Developer Productivity in Logic Apps with Generative AI In this lightning talk, I will share how Generative AI can be combined with Azure Logic Apps to accelerate integration development and simplify repetitive tasks. Drawing from real-world insurance project scenarios, I will demonstrate how AI-driven prompts can be used to generate realistic test data, assist in building maps, create unit tests, and even support custom code generation. By leveraging AI during the development lifecycle, Logic Apps developers can significantly reduce manual effort, improve accuracy, and deliver solutions faster. This session is designed to provide beginner-friendly, practical insights that attendees can immediately apply to their Logic Apps projects to enhance productivity and efficiency. Dan Probert What is a prompt - and can I automate it? In this introductory session, we look at what makes a good Gen AI prompt, and look at whether we could automate the generation of a prompt, and what that might take. This session is aimed at those devs that are new to Gen AI/LLM, and want to know more about what a prompt is, and how they might be able to simply prompt creation. Sovit Charak Agentic Document Processing with Logic Apps Standard + Document AI We will demo through logic apps: AI classification & dynamic schemas: identify doc type (contract/invoice/form) and pick the right JSON schema. Schema-aware extraction: Document AI + LLM returns exact keys; invalid outputs auto-repair via a validation loop. Agentic behaviors: tool selection & fallback OCR. Human-in-the-loop: low-confidence fields trigger a Teams Adaptive Card for approve/edit/reject. Business rules & routing. Storage & integrations: original docs to SharePoint/Blob, structured data to SQL/D365/ERP; notifications to Teams/Email. Cameron McKay Leveraging Logic Apps to build easy and effective AI Agents This session will provide an overview of Azure Logic Apps as an agent building tool that solves the problem related to organizations wanting to create agents, but not having a way to build effective agents due to disparate and segregated data sources. We will discuss Agent Loop as our tool to build agents using connectors. We will showcase demos of how to build your first agent, explore the different human in the loop capabilities that are available within agent loop and how we can use logic apps to build agents using connectors. The purpose of the session is to showcase logic apps as an agent building platform.Hybrid Logic Apps deployment on Rancher K3s Kubernetes cluster
K3s is a lightweight Kubernetes distribution, certified by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and originally developed by Rancher. It is optimized for on-premises environments with limited resources, making it ideal for edge computing and lightweight hybrid scenarios. Unlike a full Kubernetes distribution, K3s reduces overhead while maintaining full Kubernetes API compatibility. This makes K3s an ideal choice for hosting Logic Apps Standard near your data sources—such as on-premises SQL Server or local file shares—when you have lightweight workloads. There are 5 steps which are followed to setup the Hybrid Logic Apps including infrastructure which is illustrated in the following diagram. Most of these 5 steps are same as discussed in the Hybrid Logic Apps doc except the K3s Setup part Set up your own infrastructure for Standard logic app workflows - Azure Logic Apps | Microsoft Learn.

In this scenario I used on-premise SQL server using SQL Authentication. I setup the SQL Server 2022 on the Windows host machine, enabled SQL server authentication and added new SQL admin user. Please follow the link for more details.. The SQL connection string can be validated using following PowerShell script $connectionString = "Server=<server IP address>;Initial Catalog=<databaseName>;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=<sqluser>;Password=<password>;MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=True;Connection Timeout=30;" try { $connection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection $connection.ConnectionString = $connectionString $connection.Open() Write-Host "✅ Connection successful" $connection.Close() } catch { Write-Host "❌ Connection failed: $($_.Exception.Message)" } SMB is used as local file share on Windows host machine; it is advised to use a new user for the Windows SMB share $Username = "k3suser" $Password = ConvertTo-SecureString "<password complex>" -AsPlainText -Force $FullName = "K3s user" $Description = "Created via PowerShell" # Create the user New-LocalUser -Name $Username -Password $Password -FullName $FullName -Description $Description Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Users" -Member $Username Once the above user is created you can use Windows hosted machine to create Artifacts folder and allow read and write access. Please follow the link for more details Step 5: Create your Logic App (Hybrid) With all prerequisites and infrastructure in place for creating Hybrid Logic Apps, the next step is to build the Logic Apps using the specified connection string and SMB share path. This can be accomplished through the Azure Portal, as outlined below. Now you can create Logic Apps workflows using the designer and execute the Logic Apps workflow.Introducing Logic Apps MCP servers (Public Preview)
Using Logic Apps (Standard) as MCP servers transforms the way organizations build and manage agents by turning connectors into modular, reusable MCP tools. This approach allows each connector—whether it's for data access, messaging, or workflow orchestration—to act as a specialized capability within the MCP framework. By dynamically composing these tools into Logic Apps, developers can rapidly construct agents that are both scalable and adaptable to complex enterprise scenarios. The benefits include reduced development overhead, enhanced reusability, and a streamlined path to integrating diverse systems—all while maintaining the flexibility and power of the Logic Apps platform. Starting today, we now support creating Logic Apps MCP Servers in the following ways: Registering Logic Apps connectors as MCP servers using Azure API Center Using this approach provides a streamlined experience when building MCP servers based upon Azure Logic Apps connectors. This new experience includes selecting a managed connector and one or more of its actions to create an MCP server and its related tools. This experience also automates the creation of Logic Apps workflows and wires up Easy Auth authentication for you in a matter of minutes. Beyond the streamlined experience that we provide, customers also benefit from any MCP server created using this experience to be registered within their API Center enterprise catalogue. For admins this means they can manage their MCP servers across the enterprise. For developers, it offers a centralized catalog where MCP servers can be discovered and quickly onboarded in Agent solutions. To get started, please refer to our product documentation or our demo videos. Enabling Logic Apps as remote MCP server For customers who have existing Logic Apps (Standard) investments or who want additional control over how their MCP tools are created we are also offering the ability to enable a Logic App as an MCP server. For a Logic App to be eligible to become an MCP server, it must have the following characteristics: One or more workflows that have an HTTP Request trigger and a corresponding HTTP Response action It is recommended that your trigger has a description and your request payload has schema that includes meaningful descriptions Your host.json file has been configured to enable MCP capabilities You have created an App registration in Microsoft Entra and have configured Easy Auth in your Logic App To get started, please refer to our product documentation or our demo videos. Feedback Both of these capabilities are now available, in public preview, worldwide. If you have any questions or feedback on these MCP capabilities, we would love to hear from you. Please fill out the following form and I will follow-up with you.Announcing General Availability: Azure Logic Apps Standard Automated Test Framework
We’re excited to announce the General Availability (GA) of the Azure Logic Apps Standard Automated Test Framework - a major step forward in enabling developers to build, test, and maintain enterprise-grade workflows with confidence and agility. Automated testing has become a cornerstone of modern development practices, and Logic Apps Standard now offers a robust framework to help you create unit tests for both workflow definitions and workflow runs directly within Visual Studio Code. This framework empowers teams to validate logic, simulate external dependencies, and ensure workflows behave as expected—before they’re deployed to production. Since the public preview, we’ve listened to your feedback and continued to enhance the framework. With GA, we’re introducing several key improvements that make testing even more powerful and flexible. What’s New in GA Support for More Mocked Actions You can now mock a broader range of built-in and managed connector actions, making it easier to isolate your workflow logic from external systems. With this release we unlocked support to mock actions for the following actions, unavailable during public preview: Call workflow in this logic app Execute inline code (JavaScript, C#, PowerShell Call Functions (Azure functions, local functions) XML Operations (transform, parse with schema) Liquid Operations (JSON to JSON, JSON to text, XML to JSON, XML to text) Data Mapper operations This enhancement allows for more comprehensive and reliable unit tests, providing more control to your workflow tests, especially in complex integration scenarios. Access to Workflow Settings for Assertions The framework now allows you to access and assert against workflow settings, such as parameters and app setting values. This means you can validate not just the behavior of your workflow, but also the environment in which it runs—ensuring logic consistency across different environments. Inline Script Actions Support Inline Code actions are now fully supported in test scenarios. JavaScript actions are now executed as part of the test workflow execution, since they are part of workflow logic. This improvement allows you to validate the logic of those scripts at part of your workflow scenarios. We are working on bringing similar support for C# and PowerShell scripts.

Introduction Looking to automate your Azure Logic Apps code deploymentsin a faster way? Deployment Center - a built-in feature in Azure Logic Apps Standard - in now available, with built-in support on your VS Code projects, making it easier to deploy Logic Apps from your source control repository. Deployment Center is designed to make deploying, updating, and managing your Logic Apps workflows simple and straightforward. The feature in a nutshell Deployment Center connects your Logic Apps to your favourite source control systems—like GitHub or Azure Repos—and handles code deployments automatically, giving you the following benefits: Fewer Manual Steps: Deployment Center automates your code deployment process, letting you focus on building instead of babysitting releases. Simple Setup: The user interface guides you through linking your repository and configuring deployment pipelines—no guesswork, just results. Easy Rollbacks: Need to revert to a previous version? Deployment Center makes it painless to roll back changes if something doesn’t work as expected. DevOps Friendly: Seamlessly plugs into your existing DevOps or CI/CD workflow, supporting a more unified automation strategy. How does it work There are two steps required to setup Deployment Center in Azure Logic Apps Standard: First, you need to prepare your solution to connect to Deployment Center – we’ve updated the feature that generates deployment scripts in VS Code to support both Deployment Center and Azure DevOps now. This way you find all you need to generate deployments in one place. Once the Deployment Center scripts are generated and pushed to your source control, you can connect your repository to your existing Azure Logic Apps Standard application. After that, commits made on your source code will be automatically published to your Azure resource. You can find all the steps in details in the official documentation.
