How to add multiple triggers in Azure Logic App Workflow

Shabnam Shaikh 20

Hi, in my use case, there’s a requirement to trigger the logic app workflow using both a scheduler and an HTTP trigger. I referred to a few discussions on the Azure community about adding multiple triggers by modifying the workflow JSON in code view. However, while saving the workflow, I encountered below error.

Could you please guide me on how to correctly add multiple triggers to a Logic App workflow?

Thanks for the update! 😊 As noted, Azure Logic Apps support only one trigger per workflow in the designer. To handle multiple trigger types (such as HTTP requests and scheduled runs), the best approach is to:

Create separate Logic App workflows—one for the HTTP trigger and one for the scheduler.

Use a controller Logic App that is itself triggered (via HTTP or schedule).

From the controller, invoke the main processing logic—either by calling a child workflow or passing control accordingly.

You followed this pattern perfectly by implementing a controller workflow that invokes the necessary logic based on the type of trigger. It’s an ideal workaround that keeps each workflow focused and maintainable.

Great work on resolving the issue! If this approach helped, please do not forget to click "Accept the answer” and Yes wherever the information provided helps you, this can be beneficial to other community members.

It sounds like you're trying to set up a Logic App workflow that uses both a scheduler and an HTTP trigger, which is totally doable! However, you mentioned you encountered an error while saving after modifying the JSON in code view.

Typically, a Logic App can only have one trigger in the designer, but you can achieve multiple triggers by creating separate Logic Apps or by using Logic Apps workflows with scopes or parallel actions after the initial trigger. If you really need to handle multiple triggers, you might want to set specific conditions or actions based on the trigger that initiated the workflow.

Here are a few steps you can follow:

Single Trigger Set Up: Ensure you have one primary trigger (for example, either the scheduler or the HTTP trigger) correctly configured in the Logic App designer.

Conditional Actions: After the trigger, you can use conditions to check what type of input or action you're handling, effectively simulating multiple triggers.

Separate Workflows: If the logic requires distinct pathways for the scheduler and HTTP requests, consider creating separate Logic App workflows that can call each other.

Error Inspection: Look closely at the error message you received when saving. It might provide clues about the specific issue, such as syntax errors or unsupported configurations.

Testing: Test each part of your workflow step-by-step to ensure they work as expected.

Thanks @Sai Prabhu Naveen Parimi for your response. Since modifying the JSON in code view to add multiple triggers didn't work, we did a workaround to invoke workflows from the Controller workflow (based on HTTP request & Scheduling workflow). So, this is resolved.
