Question

Consuming SOAP API with Azure Logic Apps

Hi Team,

I have a SOAP API where I need to POST a SOAP request and get a SOAP response. I need to consume this API from an Azure Logic APP, can you please mention the steps involved. If possible, please provide me with a link for same.

Thanks,

Salil

@salilsingh-9961 Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

I see that you are looking for steps to import a SOAP API into Azure APIM and call it from an Azure Logic App. To achieve your ask, you can follow the following steps:

Create an Azure API Management instance in the Azure portal. You can follow the steps mentioned in the official documentation.

Import the SOAP API into Azure APIM. You can follow the steps mentioned in the official documentation.

Once the SOAP API is imported, you can create a new API in Azure APIM that will act as a facade for the SOAP API. You can follow the steps mentioned in the official documentation.

After creating the API, you can add a SOAP-to-REST policy to the API to convert the SOAP request to a REST request. You can follow the steps mentioned in the official documentation and follow this policy article.

Finally, you can create a new Azure Logic App and use the API connector to call the API. A Consumption workflow can use built-in connectors for Azure API Management. You can follow the steps mentioned in the official documentation.

Hope this helps.

Hi @navba-MSFT

Thank you for above response.

Please note I need to consume the SOAP API from the Azure Logic App (and not through Azure APIM). Can you please provide me link for same (to directly consume the SOAP API from Azure Logic App).

Thanks,

@salilsingh-9961 Thanks for clarifying the ask. Since you need steps to consume a SOAP API from an Azure Logic App. Here's how you can approach this query:

Create a new Logic App in the Azure portal:

Sign in to the Azure portal and navigate to the "Logic Apps" section.
Click on "Add" to create a new Logic App.
Follow the prompts to configure the Logic App as needed.

Add a "HTTP" trigger to the Logic App and configure it to receive a POST request:

In the Logic App designer, click on "New step".
Search for "HTTP" and select the "When a HTTP request is received" trigger.
Configure the trigger to receive a POST request and specify any required parameters.

Add a "Compose" action to the Logic App and use it to create the SOAP request message:

In the Logic App designer, click on "New step".
Search for "Compose" and select the "Compose" action.
Use the "Inputs" field to create the SOAP request message as a string.

User's image

Add a "HTTP" action to the Logic App and use it to send the SOAP request to the SOAP API endpoint:

In the Logic App designer, click on "New step".
Search for "HTTP" and select the "HTTP" action.
Configure the action to send a POST request to the SOAP API endpoint and include the SOAP request message in the request body.

Add a "Parse JSON" action to the Logic App and use it to parse the SOAP response message:

In the Logic App designer, click on "New step".
Search for "Parse JSON" and select

Note: To integrate SOAP services in your Azure Logic Apps workflows, you can create and register a custom Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) connector by using Web Services Description Language (WSDL) that describes your SOAP service. The SOAP connectors work like prebuilt connectors, so you can use them in the same way as other connectors in your logic apps. Currently, SOAP custom connectors don't support one-way operations. More Info here.

Hope this helps.
