General known issues and limitations

  • Infinite loops

    Use caution when you select both a trigger and action that have the same connector type and use them to work with the same entity, such as a queue or topic subscription. This combination can create an infinite loop, which results in a workflow that never ends.

    For example, suppose your workflow uses a Service Bus trigger that returns a newly received message in a queue and follows that trigger with a Service Bus action that sends a message back to the same queue. This pattern can create an infinite loop, causing an unending workflow.

  • Limit on saved sessions in connector cache

    Per Service Bus messaging entity, such as a subscription or topic, the Service Bus connector can save up to 1,500 unique sessions at a time to the connector cache. If the session count exceeds this limit, old sessions are removed from the cache. For more information, see Message sessions.

  • Long-polling triggers

    For the Azure Service Bus managed connector, all triggers are long-polling. This trigger type processes all the messages and then waits 30 seconds for more messages to appear in the queue or topic subscription. If no messages appear in 30 seconds, the trigger run is skipped. Otherwise, the trigger continues reading messages until the queue or topic subscription is empty. The next trigger poll is based on the recurrence interval specified in the trigger's properties.

Microsoft Entra ID authentication

To use Microsoft Entra ID authentication, the user account requires a specific role assignment. For more information, see Assign an Azure role for access rights - Azure Service Bus.

Managed identity authentication

Currently, managed identity authentication is supported only for Azure Logic Apps.

  • To use a managed identity that authenticates access from your logic app workflow to your Service Bus namespace and messaging entity, make sure that you assign role permissions at the corresponding levels. For example, to access a queue, the managed identity requires a role that has the necessary permissions for that queue.

  • Each managed identity that accesses a different messaging entity should have a separate connection to that entity. If you use different Azure Service Bus actions to send and receive messages, and those actions require different permissions, make sure to use different connections.

To enable a managed identity for use with Azure Service Bus, follow these high-level steps:

  1. Enable or create the managed identity for your logic app resource. For more information, see Authenticate access to Azure resources with managed identities in Azure Logic Apps.

  2. Give the identity access to Azure Service Bus resources. For more information, see Assign an Azure role for access rights - Azure Service Bus

  3. For a user-assigned identity, add the identity to the logic app resource. For more information about managed identities in Azure Logic Apps, see Authenticate access to Azure resources using managed identities in Azure Logic Apps
