Create Your First Logic App (Standard) Workflow

What You'll Build

A Logic App Standard workflow that receives an HTTP request and returns a JSON response. This is the foundation for every integration you'll build.

Prerequisites

• Azure subscription (free tier works)
• Azure Portal access

Step 1: Create a Logic App Standard Resource

1. Go to Azure Portal
2. Click Create a resource → Search for Logic App
3. Select Logic App and click Create

4. Fill in the details:

5. Click Review + Create → Create
6. Wait for deployment to complete (2-3 minutes)

Step 2: Create a New Workflow

1. Navigate to your Logic App resource
2. In the left menu, click Workflows
3. Click + Add

4. Enter workflow details:

5. Click Create

Step 3: Add an HTTP Trigger

1. Click on your hello-world workflow
2. Click Designer in the left menu
3. You'll see the blank workflow designer

4. Click Add a trigger
5. Search for HTTP → Select When a HTTP request is received

6. Leave the default settings (Method: Any, Relative path: empty)

Step 4: Add a Response Action

1. Click the + below the trigger → Add an action
2. Search for Response → Select Response

3. Configure the response:

4. In the Body field, enter:

{
  "message": "Hello from Azure Logic Apps!",
  "timestamp": "@{utcNow()}",
  "workflowName": "@{workflow().name}"
}

5. Click Save in the top toolbar

Step 5: Get the Workflow URL

1. Go back to the Overview tab of your workflow
2. You'll see the Workflow URL — copy it

The URL looks like:

https://la-tutorial-first.azurewebsites.net/api/hello-world/triggers/manual/invoke?api-version=2022-05-01&sp=%2Ftriggers%2Fmanual%2Frun&sv=1.0&sig=xxxxx

Step 6: Test Your Workflow

Using curl:

curl -X POST "YOUR_WORKFLOW_URL" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "Azure Developer"}'

Expected Response:

{
  "message": "Hello from Azure Logic Apps!",
  "timestamp": "2026-06-01T10:30:00Z",
  "workflowName": "hello-world"
}

Step 7: Check Run History

1. Go to your workflow → Run History (left menu)
2. You'll see your test run with a green checkmark ✅
3. Click on the run to see details of each action
