Explain how content-based routing works in Azure Logic Apps in the context of connectors and actions.
Content-based routing in Azure Logic Apps involves directing messages to specific paths or actions based on their content. It leverages connectors, which are pre-built APIs for connecting various services and data sources, enabling seamless integration of different components within the logic app.
To implement content-based routing, you can use the “Condition” action, which evaluates an expression against the message content. Based on the evaluation result, the logic app follows either the “true” or “false” branch, executing corresponding actions accordingly.
For example, consider a scenario where incoming emails need to be routed to different departments based on their subject line. You could use the Office 365 Outlook connector to trigger the logic app when a new email arrives. Then, apply the “Condition” action to evaluate the email’s subject, and route it to the appropriate department using further actions like sending notifications or creating tasks.
