Key Concepts

Before setting up email notifications, it's important to understand some key concepts:

  • Logic App: A Logic App is a workflow that integrates with various services and triggers to automate tasks.
  • Trigger: A trigger is an event or condition that starts a Logic App workflow.
  • Action: An action is a task or operation that the Logic App performs in response to a trigger.
  • Connector: A connector is a pre-built integration with an external service like email, databases, or cloud platforms.

Setting Up Email Notifications

To set up email notifications using Azure Logic Apps, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to the Azure Portal.
  2. Create a new Logic App resource.
  3. Design your Logic App workflow using the Logic App Designer. Add a trigger, such as a new email arriving in Outlook, and an action, like sending an email notification.
  4. Configure the email action with the recipient's email address, subject, and message content.
  5. Save and enable your Logic App to start sending email notifications based on the trigger conditions.
