# Create and manage records in Common Data Service by using Azure Logic Apps
1313

With [Azure Logic Apps](../logic-apps/logic-apps-overview.md) and the [Common Data Service connector](https://docs.microsoft.com/connectors/commondataservice/), you can build automated workflows that manage records in your Common Data Service database. These workflows can create records, update records, and perform other operations. You can also get information from your Common Data Service database and make the output available for other actions to use in your logic app. For example, when a record is updated in your Common Data Service database, you can send an email by using the Office 365 Outlook connector.
