Create azure logic app from azure function

Question

I am wondering if there is a way to create an Azure logic app (given we have the definition of the logic app as a JSON file) from an Azure function.

To be more clear, I have done this in the past with AWS Lambda and State Machine (here). As you can see given the definition of statemachine we can call CreateStateMachine in a Lambda function with additional required fields and create a state machine.

Knowing the concept of Azure Logic App is almost similar to AWS Statemachine and Azure function to AWS Lambda, I was wondering if there is a way to achieve this. If you know it please guide me to the documentation.

Yes you can create or perform any other Workflow Operations on Azure Logic Apps using the REST APIs.

You need to send a PUT request to the below URL with your logicapp definition.

PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Logic/workflows/{workflowName}?api-version=2016-06-01

Remember you will also need a bearer_token to Authenticate your request.

To get Bearer Token use the below snippet

string authority = $"https://login.windows.net/{request.TenantId}";

var authContext = new AuthenticationContext(authority);
var credential = new ClientCredential(request.ClientId, request.ClientSecret);
var authResult = authContext.AcquireTokenAsync(Resource, credential).Result;
var accessToken = authResult.AccessToken;
