Importing JSON data from a Logic App to a Runbook

Question

Hello,

I am trying to get my runbook to read json data, which is parsed from a Logic App. Essentially the desired workflow is as follows:

Logic app receives json data of a new user -> parses json data -> creates job in Runbook to create a new Azure AD user based on data from the json -> returns sign-in info of new user to Logic app.

I am having trouble understanding how to bring in the JSON data from the logic app to the Runbook. I can trigger the Runbook, but I am uncertain of the syntax to read the json data from logic app.

Does anyone know how best to proceed with accomplishing this task?

Hello @Randy Ramawad - Thanks for reaching out, and posting on the MS Q&A.

• For the Trigger, you can first configure Microsoft.Graph.UserUpdated event via Event Grid, and then use the When a resource event occurs trigger (from the Azure Event Grid connector) in your Logic Apps workflow.
• For Parsing JSON, please review Perform data operations in Azure Logic Apps
• For Creating Job on Runbook, it looks like the Azure Automation connector has Create Job action where you can pass in your JSON data to the Body field.

I hope this helps. If you encounter any issues while designing your workflow, or just have any follow-up questions, feel free to let me know in the comments.
