-Sometimes your workflow must connect to an on-premises data source and can use only connectors that provide this access through an on-premises data gateway. To set up this on-premises data gateway, you have to complete the following tasks: install the local on-premises data gateway and create an on-premises data gateway resource in Azure for the local data gateway. When you add a trigger or action to your workflow from a connector that requires the data gateway, you can select the data gateway resource to use with your connection.

-In Consumption logic app workflows, you can connect to on-premises data sources using only [connectors that provide access through the on-premises data gateway](../connectors/managed.md#on-premises-connectors). In Standard logic app workflows, you can directly access on-premises resources in Azure virtual networks or use [built-in service provider connectors](/azure/logic-apps/connectors/built-in/reference/) that don't need the data gateway to access your on-premises data source. Instead, you provide information that authenticates your identity and authorizes access to your data source. However, if a built-in service provider connector isn't available for your data source, but a managed connector is available, you need to use the on-premises data gateway.
