Build governed asynchronous APIs with Azure API Management and Azure Service Bus
Many applications use Azure Service Bus to decouple services, handle traffic spikes, and process workloads asynchronously. However, securely exposing messaging capabilities to applications, partners, and internal teams can require custom middleware or messaging-specific client implementations. Today, we’re announcing the general availability of native Azure Service Bus integration in Azure API Management. With the send-service-bus-message policy, developers can publish messages directly from an Azure API Management gateway to an Azure Service Bus queue or topic. This provides a secure and governed HTTP interface for Service Bus workloads—without requiring teams to build and operate a separate adapter service. Connect APIs directly to Azure Service Bus Azure API Management can act as the governed entry point for applications that submit work to Azure Service Bus. A client sends a standard HTTP request to API Management. The gateway can authenticate and authorize the caller, validate or transform the request, and apply policies such as rate limits and quotas before publishing the message to a Service Bus queue or topic. Once the message is accepted, API Management can immediately respond to the caller while downstream services process the message asynchronously. Alternatively, message publication can be added to an existing API flow while the request continues to its primary backend. This integration brings together API governance in Azure API Management and reliable asynchronous messaging in Azure Service Bus—without adding another intermediary service. Greater control over Service Bus messages As part of general availability, we’re introducing additional controls for building production messaging workflows. 1. Control how messages are processed Developers can configure the following Service Bus message properties directly in the policy: Message IDs to correlate messages and support duplicate-detection or idempotent processing patterns. Session IDs to group related messages for ordered or stateful processing. Time-to-live to prevent messages from being processed after they are no longer relevant. These values can be generated dynamically using API Management policy expressions, allowing them to reflect request IDs, customer identifiers, transactions, or other application context. 2. Capture the send result The response-variable-name attribute captures information about the Service Bus send operation in an API Management context variable. Subsequent policies can use the result to add correlation information to an API response, emit telemetry, record an operational event, or apply conditional logic when a message cannot be sent. 3. Choose how failures affect the API Different messaging scenarios require different failure behavior. When publishing the message is the primary purpose of an API, a send failure can stop policy execution and invoke the API Management error-handling path. When publishing is secondary—such as sending an audit event or initiating optional downstream processing—the ignore-error option can allow the primary API request to continue. Information about the send operation remains available through the response variable for logging or subsequent policy logic. 4. Secure access with managed identity API Management authenticates to Azure Service Bus using a Microsoft Entra managed identity. Customers can use the system-assigned identity of the API Management service or specify a user-assigned managed identity. The selected identity is granted the Azure Service Bus Data Sender role for the appropriate namespace, queue, or topic. This removes the need to store Service Bus connection strings or shared access keys in API policies and makes it easier to apply least-privilege access using Azure role-based access control. Send a message with an API Management policy The following example sends the incoming request body to an orders queue. It assigns a message ID and expiration time, captures the result of the send operation, and treats successful publication as a required part of the API request. <send-service-bus-message queue-name="orders" namespace="contoso-messaging.servicebus.windows.net" message-id="@(context.RequestId.ToString())" time-to-live="00:10:00" response-variable-name="serviceBusResult" ignore-error="false"> <payload> @(context.Request.Body.As<string>(preserveContent: true)) </payload> </send-service-bus-message> A session ID can also be added when related messages need to be grouped for ordered or stateful processing. For a fully asynchronous API, the policy can be followed by return-response so that API Management acknowledges the request immediately after sending the message. For an existing API, the request can continue to its configured backend after the message is published. Common integration scenarios Create asynchronous APIs: Accept an order, document, or processing request through an HTTP API, publish it to a queue, and return immediately while downstream services complete the work. Govern partner integrations: Provide partners with a managed API contract instead of exposing the underlying Service Bus namespace. API Management can authenticate callers, validate requests, and apply quotas before publishing messages. Publish business events: Publish events to a Service Bus topic so multiple subscriptions and downstream services can process them independently. Handle bursts of incoming traffic: Use Service Bus to buffer messages when incoming API traffic temporarily exceeds the rate at which downstream services can process requests. Add events to existing API operations: Publish audit, notification, analytics, or workflow events while allowing the primary API request to continue to its configured backend. Preserve workflow affinity: Use Service Bus sessions to group related messages for ordered or stateful processing based on a customer, transaction, order, or workflow identifier. Get started To send messages from Azure API Management to Azure Service Bus: Create or select an Azure Service Bus queue or topic. Enable a system-assigned or user-assigned managed identity on the API Management service. Assign the identity the Azure Service Bus Data Sender role. Add the send-service-bus-message policy to an API operation. Configure the message payload, processing properties, output variable, and failure behavior. With native Azure Service Bus integration, Azure API Management provides a secure and governed way to connect HTTP APIs with asynchronous messaging workloads—without requiring additional middleware. Learn more Send Service Bus message policy reference Send messages to Azure Service Bus from Azure API Management Azure API Management June 2026 release notes Azure Service Bus documentationIntroducing native Service Bus message publishing from Azure API Management (Preview)
We’re excited to announce a preview capability in Azure API Management (APIM) — you can now send messages directly to Azure Service Bus from your APIs using a built-in policy. This enhancement, currently in public preview, simplifies how you connect your API layer with event-driven and asynchronous systems, helping you build more scalable, resilient, and loosely coupled architectures across your enterprise. Why this matters? Modern applications increasingly rely on asynchronous communication and event-driven designs. With this new integration: Any API hosted in API Management can publish to Service Bus — no SDKs, custom code, or middleware required. Partners, clients, and IoT devices can send data through standard HTTP calls, even if they don’t support AMQP natively. You stay in full control with authentication, throttling, and logging managed centrally in API Management. Your systems scale more smoothly by decoupling front-end requests from backend processing. How it works The new send-service-bus-message policy allows API Management to forward payloads from API calls directly into Service Bus queues or topics. High-level flow A client sends a standard HTTP request to your API endpoint in API Management. The policy executes and sends the payload as a message to Service Bus. Downstream consumers such as Logic Apps, Azure Functions, or microservices process those messages asynchronously. All configurations happen in API Management — no code changes or new infrastructure are required. Getting started You can try it out in minutes: Set up a Service Bus namespace and create a queue or topic. Enable a managed identity (system-assigned or user-assigned) on your API Management instance. Grant the identity the “Service Bus data sender” role in Azure RBAC, scoped to your queue/ topic. Add the policy to your API operation: <send-service-bus-message queue-name="orders"> <payload>@(context.Request.Body.As<string>())</payload> </send-service-bus-message> Once saved, each API call publishes its payload to the Service Bus queue or topic. 📖 Learn more. Common use cases This capability makes it easy to integrate your APIs into event-driven workflows: Order processing – Queue incoming orders for fulfillment or billing. Event notifications – Trigger internal workflows across multiple applications. Telemetry ingestion – Forward IoT or mobile app data to Service Bus for analytics. Partner integrations – Offer REST-based endpoints for external systems while maintaining policy-based control. Each of these scenarios benefits from simplified integration, centralized governance, and improved reliability. Secure and governed by design The integration uses managed identities for secure communication between API Management and Service Bus — no secrets required. You can further apply enterprise-grade controls: Enforce rate limits, quotas, and authorization through APIM policies. Gain API-level logging and tracing for each message sent. Use Service Bus metrics to monitor downstream processing. Together, these tools help you maintain a consistent security posture across your APIs and messaging layer. Build modern, event-driven architectures With this feature, API Management can serve as a bridge to your event-driven backbone. Start small by queuing a single API’s workload, or extend to enterprise-wide event distribution using topics and subscriptions. You’ll reduce architectural complexity while enabling more flexible, scalable, and decoupled application patterns.

Azure API Management operates on finite physical infrastructure. To ensure reliable performance for all customers, the service enforces limits calibrated based on: Azure platform capacity and performance characteristics Service tier capabilities Typical customer usage patterns Resource limits are interrelated and tuned to prevent any single aspect from disrupting overall service performance. Changes to service limits - 2026 update Starting March 2026 and over the following several months, Azure API Management is introducing updated resource limits for instances across all tiers. The limits are shown in the following table. Entity/Resource Consumption Developer Basic/ Basic v2 Standard/ Standard v2 Premium/ Premium v2 API operations 3,000 3,000 10,000 50,000 75,000 API tags 1,500 1,500 1,500 2,500 15,000 Named values 5,000 5,000 5,000 10,000 18,000 Loggers 100 100 100 200 400 Products 100 100 200 500 2,000 Subscriptions N/A 10,000 15,000 25,000 75,000 Users N/A 20,000 20,000 50,000 75,000 Workspaces per workspace gateway N/A N/A N/A N/A 30 Self-hosted gateways N/A 5 N/A N/A 100 1 1 Applies to Premium tier only. What's changing Limits in the classic tiers now align with those set in the v2 tiers. Limits are enforced for a smaller set of resource types that are directly related to service capacity and performance, such as API operations, tags, products, and subscriptions. Rollout process New limits roll out in a phased approach by tier as follows: Tier Expected rollout date Consumption Developer Basic Basic v2 March 15, 2026 Standard Standard v2 April 15, 2026 Premium Premium v2 May 15, 2026 Limits policy for existing classic tier customers After the new limits take effect, you can continue using your preexisting API Management resources without interruption. Existing classic tier services, where current usage exceeds the new limits, are "grandfathered" when the new limits are introduced. (Instances in the v2 tiers are already subject to the new limits.) Limits in grandfathered services will be set 10% higher than the customer's observed usage at the time new limits take effect. Grandfathering applies per service and service tier. Other existing services and new services are subject to the new limits when they take effect. Guidelines for limit increases In some cases, you might want to increase a service limit. Before requesting a limit increase, note the following guidelines: Explore strategies to address the issue proactively before requesting a limit increase. See the article here Manage resources within limits. Consider potential impacts of the limit increase on overall service performance and stability. Increasing a limit might affect your service's capacity or increase latency in some service operations. Requesting a limit increase The product team considers requests for limit increases only for customers using services in the following tiers that are designed for medium to large production workloads: Standard and Standard v2 Premium and Premium v2 Requests for limit increases are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and aren't guaranteed. The product team prioritizes Premium and Premium v2 tier customers for limit increases. To request a limit increase, create a support request from the Azure portal.

Documentation For more information, please see documentation hereImplementing / Migrating the BizTalk Server Aggregator Pattern to Azure Logic Apps Standard
While the article focuses on the migration path from BizTalk Server, the template is equally suited for new (greenfield) implementations any team looking to implement the Aggregator pattern natively in Azure Logic Apps can deploy it directly from the Azure portal without prior BizTalk experience. The template source code is open source and available in the Azure LogicAppsTemplates GitHub repository. For full details on the original BizTalk implementation, see the BizTalk Server Aggregator SDK sample. Why is it important? BizTalk Server End of life has been confirmed and if you have not started your migration to Logic Apps, you should start soon. This is one of many articles in BizTalk Migration. More information can be found here: https://aka.ms/biztalkeolblog. The migration at a glance: BizTalk orchestration vs. Logic Apps workflow The BizTalk SDK implements the pattern through an orchestration (Aggregate.odx) that uses correlation sets, receive shapes, loop constructs, and send pipelines. The Logic Apps Standard template replicates the same logic using a stateful workflow with Azure Service Bus and CorrelationId-based grouping. The BizTalk solution includes: Component Purpose Aggregate.odx Main orchestration that collects correlated messages and executes the send pipeline FFReceivePipeline.btp Receive pipeline with flat file disassembler Invoice.xsd Document schema for invoice messages InvoiceEnvelope.xsd Envelope schema for output interchange PropertySchema.xsd Property schema with promoted properties for correlation XMLAggregatingPipeline.btp Send pipeline to assemble collected messages into XML interchange The Azure Logic Apps Standard implementation The Logic Apps Standard workflow replicates the same Aggregator pattern using a stateful workflow with Azure Service Bus as the message source and CorrelationId-based grouping. The template is publicly available in the Azure portal templates gallery. Figure 2: The “Aggregate messages from Azure Service Bus by CorrelationId” template in the Azure portal templates gallery, published by Microsoft. Receives messages from Service Bus in batches, groups them by CorrelationId, decodes flat files, and responses with the aggregated result via HTTP. Side-by-side comparison: BizTalk Server vs. Azure Logic Apps Understanding how each component maps between platforms is essential for a smooth migration: Concept BizTalk Server (Aggregate.odx) Azure Logic Apps Standard Messaging infrastructure MessageBox database (SQL Server) Azure Service Bus (cloud-native PaaS) Message source Receive Port / Receive Location Service Bus trigger (peekLockQueueMessagesV2) Message decoding Receive Pipeline (Flat File Disassembler) Decode_Flat_File_Invoice action (FlatFileDecoding) Correlation mechanism Correlation Sets on promoted properties (DestinationPartnerURI) CorrelationId from Service Bus message properties Message accumulation Loop shape + Message Assignment shapes ForEach loop + CorrelationGroups dictionary variable Completion condition Loop exit (10 messages or 1-minute timeout) Batch-based: processes all messages in current batch Aggregated message construction Construct Message shape + XMLAggregatingPipeline Build_Aggregated_Messages ForEach + Compose actions Result delivery Send Port (file, HTTP, or other adapter) HTTP Response or any other regarding business need Error handling Exception Handler shapes + SuspendMessage.odx Scope + error handler actions Schema support BizTalk Flat File Schemas (XSD) Same XSD schemas in Artifacts/Schemas folder State management Orchestration dehydration/rehydration Stateful workflow with run history Key architectural differences Aspect BizTalk Server Azure Logic Apps Standard Processing model Convoy pattern (long-running, event-driven) Batch-based (processes N messages per trigger) Scalability BizTalk Host instances (manual scaling) Elastic scale (Azure App Service Plan) Retry logic Adapter-level retries Built-in HTTP retry policy (3 attempts, 10s interval) Architecture Monolithic orchestration Decoupled: aggregation + downstream processing Monitoring BizTalk Admin Console / HAT Azure portal run history + Azure Monitor Schema reuse BizTalk project schemas Direct XSD reuse in Artifacts/Schemas Deployment MSI / BizTalk deployment ARM templates, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions How the workflow works 1. Trigger: Receive messages from Service Bus The workflow uses the built-in Service Bus trigger to retrieve messages in batches from a non-session queue. This is analogous to BizTalk's Receive Location polling the message source. 2. Process and correlate: Group messages by CorrelationId Each message is processed sequentially (like BizTalk's ordered delivery). The workflow: Extracts the CorrelationId from Service Bus message properties (equivalent to BizTalk's promoted property used in the Correlation Set) Decodes flat file content with zero refactoring using the XSD schema (equivalent to BizTalk's Flat File Disassembler pipeline component) Groups messages into a dictionary keyed by CorrelationId (equivalent to BizTalk's loop + message assignment pattern) 3. Build aggregated output Once all messages in the batch are processed, the workflow constructs a result object for each correlation group containing the CorrelationId, message count and the array of decoded messages. 4. Deliver results The aggregated output is sent to a target workflow via HTTP POST, following a decoupled architecture pattern. This is analogous to BizTalk's Send Port delivering the result to the destination system. You can substitute this action for another endpoint as needed. This, will depend on your business case. Azure Service Bus: The cloud-native replacement for BizTalk’s MessageBox In BizTalk Server, the MessageBox database is the central hub for all message routing, subscription-based delivery, and correlation. It’s the engine that enables patterns like the Aggregator — messages are published to the MessageBox, and the orchestration subscribes to them based on promoted properties and correlation sets. In Azure Logic Apps Standard, there is no MessaeBox equivalent. Instead, Azure Service Bus serves as the cloud-native messaging backbone. Service Bus provides the same publish/subscribe semantics, message correlation (via the built-in CorrelationId property), peek-lock delivery, and reliable queuing — but as a fully managed, elastically scalable PaaS service with no infrastructure to maintain. This is a fundamental shift in architecture: you move from a centralized SQL Server-based message broker (MessageBox) to a distributed, cloud-native messaging service (Service Bus) that scales independently and integrates natively with Logic Apps through the built-in Service Bus connector. Important: Service Bus is not available on-premises. However, RabbitMQ is available to cover these needs, on-premises. RabbitMQ offers a fantastic alternative for customers looking to replicate BizTalk message routing, subscription-based delivery, and correlation. Decode Flat File Invoice: Reuse your BizTalk schemas with zero refactoring One of the biggest concerns during any BizTalk migration is: “What happens to our flat file schemas and message formats?” The workflow template includes a Decode Flat File action (type FlatFileDecoding) that converts positional or delimited flat file content into XML — exactly like BizTalk’s Flat File Disassembler pipeline component. The key advantage: your original BizTalk XSD flat file schemas work as-is. Upload them to the Logic Apps Artifacts/Schemas folder and reference them by name in the workflow — no modifications, no refactoring. This means: Your existing message formats don’t change — upstream and downstream systems continue sending and receiving the same flat file messages Your BizTalk schemas are directly reusable — the same Invoice.xsd from your BizTalk project works seamlessly with the FlatFileDecoding action Migration effort is significantly reduced — no need to redesign schemas, re-validate message structures, or update trading partner agreements Time-to-production is faster — focus on workflow logic and connectivity instead of rewriting message definitions Notice that, if you need to process XML data, as your data might arrive in XML format, use the XML Operations: Validate, Transform, Parse, and Compose XML with schema. You can find more information at Compose XML using Schemas in Standard Workflows - Azure Logic Apps | Microsoft Learn. The message with correlation Id Each message in the Service Bus queue is a flat file invoice the same positional/delimited text format used in the BizTalk SDK sample. Here's an example: INVOICE12345 DestinationPartnerURI:http://www.contoso.com?ID=1E1B9646-48CF-41dd-A0C0-1014B1CE5064 BILLTO,US,John Connor,123 Cedar Street,Mill Valley,CA,90952 101-TT Plastic flowers 10 4.99 Fragile handle with care 202-RR Fertilizer 1 10.99 Lawn fertilizer 453-XS Weed killer 1 5.99 Lawn weed killer The message structure combines positional and delimited fields: Line 1: Invoice identifier (fixed-length record) Line 2: Destination partner URI — in BizTalk, this value is promoted as a context property and used in the Correlation Set to group related messages Line 3: Bill-to header (comma-delimited: country, name, address, city, state, ZIP) Line 4: Line items (positional fields: item code, description, quantity, unit price, notes) Why CorrelationId is essential In BizTalk Server, the orchestration promotes `DestinationPartnerURI` from the message body into a context property and uses it as the Correlation Set to match related messages. This requires a Property Schema, promoted properties, and pipeline configuration. In Azure Logic Apps Standard, correlation is decoupled from the message body. The `CorrelationId` is a native Azure Service Bus message property with a first-class header set by the message producer when sending to the queue. This means: No schema changes needed: the flat file content stays exactly the same No property promotion: Service Bus provides the correlation identifier out of the box Simpler architecture: the workflow reads `CorrelationId` directly from the message metadata, not from the payload Producer flexibility any system sending to Service Bus can set the `CorrelationId` header using standard SDK methods, without modifying the message body This is why the Aggregator pattern maps so naturally to Service Bus: the correlation mechanism that BizTalk implements through promoted properties and correlation sets is already built into the messaging infrastructure. Step-by-step guide: Deploy the template from the Azure portal The “Aggregate messages from Azure Service Bus by CorrelationId” template is publicly available in the Azure Logic Apps Standard templates gallery. Follow these steps to deploy it: Prerequisites Before you begin, make sure you have: An Azure subscription. If you don’t have one, sign up for a free Azure account . An Azure Logic Apps Standard resource deployed in your subscription. If you need to create one, see Create an example Standard logic app workflow . An Azure Service Bus namespace with a non-session queue configured. A flat file XSD schema (for example, Invoice.xsd) ready to upload to the logic app’s Artifacts/Schemas folder. A target workflow with an HTTP trigger to receive the aggregated results (optional, can be created after deployment). Step 1: Open the templates gallery Sign in to the Azure portal. Navigate to your Standard logic app resource. On the logic app sidebar menu, select Workflows. On the logic app sidebar menu, select Workflows.
