Understanding Logic Apps Connectors

Connectors (also known as adapters) enable applications such as Logic Apps to perform operations on other applications or services such as writing records to an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, reading from a database, or sending an e-mail or text message. For example, a connector might be used to record a sales transaction by first authenticating to a database and then executing the correct SQL command to write data to it.

Logic Apps connectors are generally compatible with those of Power Apps and Power Automate; however, the latter services only support a subset of connectors supported by Logic Apps. (More information can be found in “Connectors for Power Platform” on page 8 of the Aug. 2021 Update.)

Generally, Logic Apps connectors are priced per execution. Logic Apps classifies connectors into categories; each category has different pricing implications. These categories are:

Built-in connectors are natively part of the Logic Apps runtime. These include common functions such as HTTP read/write and connectors for commonly used Azure services such as Azure Blob Storage or Azure Functions. Built-in connectors are charged at US$0.000025 per execution; depending on the Logic Apps deployment model, some initial uses, or all, may be free.
