Outputs define the data that the Logic Apps workflow can return when finishing execution. This might include status or field tracking within a Logic Apps workflow with each run.
Output variables are key-value pairs and, once configured, you can track the values through a logic app's run history in the Azure portal, or you can pass the key-value pair to external systems such as Power BI to view on the dashboard:
The following table contains parameters for outputs in a Logic Apps workflow:
| Element | Required | Type | Description |
|
Key-name |
Yes | string | The key name for the output return value |
|
Type |
Yes | int, float, string, SecureString, bool, array, JSON object | The default value of the parameter |
|
Values |
No | Same as type | The return value |
We have now covered most of the theory, so it's time to work through some exercises to get a better understanding of how we can use these different components together to create a workflow in Logic Apps. In this book, we will use Visual Studio Code to build the logic apps. You can also use an IDE of your choice, such as Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 or the Azure portal, to create the same Logic Apps workflow.
