Overview
Azure Logic Apps is Microsoft's cloud integration and workflow-automation service for building automated workflows that connect apps, data, and services. Workflows are designed in a visual, low-code designer using triggers and actions, and draw on a large shared library of connectors (the same connector platform used by Power Automate) spanning Microsoft and third-party SaaS, on-premises systems, protocols, and B2B/EDI. It is a core component of Azure's integration services for both lightweight automation and enterprise integration.
Logic Apps comes in two models. The original Consumption plan runs each workflow in Microsoft's multi-tenant infrastructure and bills per action/connector execution. The newer Standard plan runs single-tenant on a dedicated hosting model, supports multiple workflows per app, includes built-in connectors that run in-process for higher throughput, and (unlike Consumption) does not require a separate paid Integration Account to use schemas, maps, and B2B artifacts. Enterprise integration scenarios such as EDI (X12, EDIFACT), AS2, and XML processing are supported via integration account artifacts.
Azure Logic Apps is part of Microsoft Azure and is commonly used alongside Dynamics 365, Office 365, and other Azure services. It connects to on-premises systems through the on-premises data gateway and integrates with Azure security, monitoring, and DevOps tooling.

Common use cases
- Automating workflows across Dynamics 365, Office 365, and Azure services
- Integrating SAP or other ERP systems with Microsoft applications
- B2B/EDI and AS2 trading-partner exchange
- Event-driven processing with Azure services (Service Bus, Event Grid)
- Connecting on-premises systems to the cloud via the data gateway
- Building scheduled or triggered data-movement and notification flows
- Orchestrating API calls and serverless functions in enterprise integrations
Strengths & considerations
Strengths
- Deep native integration with the Microsoft/Azure and Dynamics 365 ecosystem
- Shares a 1,000+ connector library with Power Automate / Power Platform
- Two hosting models (Consumption multi-tenant and Standard single-tenant) for different throughput and isolation needs
Considerations
- Consumption plan's per-action billing can be hard to predict for high-volume workflows
- Richest experience assumes investment in the broader Azure platform and tooling
ERP integrations
First-party Microsoft connector (available at Standard-plan class in Logic Apps) for Dataverse, which underlies Dynamics 365 CE apps; a separate Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations connector covers ERP ledger objects specifically.
Enterprise-tier connector for SAP, requiring an Integration Service Environment / SAP connection setup.
Documented connector is database-level (Oracle Database), not a productised Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP application adapter.
No first-party NetSuite connector found; reachable via the generic HTTP action or a custom OpenAPI-based connector.
Connector details independently verified against vendor marketplaces and documentation; last checked 2026-08-11.

Alternatives to Azure Logic Apps in iPaaS
Azure Logic Apps — frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Consumption and Standard plans?
Consumption runs each workflow in Azure's multi-tenant infrastructure and bills per action/connector execution; Standard runs single-tenant with dedicated reserved capacity, supports multiple workflows per app, and includes B2B schemas/maps without a separate Integration Account.
How does Logic Apps connect to on-premises systems?
Through the on-premises data gateway, and via virtual network integration in the Standard plan, allowing workflows to reach systems behind the corporate firewall.
Is Logic Apps the same as Power Automate?
They share the same connector platform, but Logic Apps is an Azure developer/IT-oriented service with DevOps, B2B/EDI, and enterprise hosting options, while Power Automate targets business-user automation in Microsoft 365.
