BizTalk Server 2016 and 2020 provide several built‑in mechanisms to support hybrid integration scenarios. One of these mechanisms is the BizTalk Server Logic App adapter, which allows BizTalk to both receive messages from and send messages to Azure Logic Apps.
If we focus on the send scenario, there are multiple ways to trigger or call a Logic App. For example, you can use the HTTP adapter to send an HTTP request. However, starting with BizTalk Server 2016, a better and more user‑friendly option is available. Instead of relying on raw HTTP calls, you can use the Logic App adapter to send messages directly to an Azure Logic App.
📝 One-Minute Brief
hybrid scenarios are still very common in enterprise integration. This Friday Fact shows that you can use the BizTalk Server Logic App adapter to call a Logic App Standard workflow directly. The post explains why this approach works, when it makes sense to use it, and how it helps organizations integrate BizTalk Server with Azure Logic Apps as part of a controlled modernization or migration strategy.
The “issue”
However, there is a small limitation. When Microsoft released the BizTalk Server Logic App adapter, Logic App Consumption was the only available Logic Apps model. As a result, when you connect the adapter to a subscription and resource group, the adapter lists only Logic App Consumption workflows.
The BizTalk Server Logic App adapter does not show any Logic App Standard workflow that you have inside the resource group of your subscription.
Does that mean we cannot use the Logic App adapter to send messages to a Logic App Standard workflow?
No, you can still use the Logic App adapter to send messages to a Logic App Standard workflow – for example, it will be easier to migrate BizTalk Solutions that are calling Logic App Consumption to start calling Logic App Standard workflows without changing to many configurations in BizTalk Server.
The solution for calling Logic App Standard workflows
However, to accomplish that, you need to manually copy the workflow URL from the Azure Portal:
And pasted it to the Trigger (Callback URI) property of the BizTalk Server Logic App adapter.
Simple as that!
