 # Differences between built-in operations and Azure connectors in Azure Logic Apps (Standard)
 
-For Standard logic app resources, the workflow designer shows the available connectors and operations using the labels named **In-App** and **Shared**. The **In-App** label applies to [*built-in* operations](built-in.md), which natively run in the same cluster and runtime as your Standard logic app in single-tenant Azure Logic Apps. This label also applies to connectors known as *service providers*, which are actually custom extensions that are implemented based on Azure Functions. Anyone can create their own service provider connector.

 The **Shared** label applies to [Azure-hosted connectors *managed* by Microsoft](managed.md), which run in shared connector clusters in the multitenant Azure cloud. These shared managed connector clusters exist separately from single-tenant Azure Logic Apps, which runs in a different cluster. If your workflow has to invoke a managed connector operation, Azure Logic Apps makes a call to the connector in the managed connector clusters. In turn, the connector might then call the backend target service, which can be Office 365, Salesforce, and so on.

 Instead, for Azure connectors to work when VNet integration is enabled on a Standard logic app, you have to allow traffic through the [outbound IP addresses for managed connectors](/connectors/common/outbound-ip-addresses) in the region where you created your logic app. For example, if the subnet that's used in the VNet integration has a network security group (NSG) policy or firewall, that subnet has to allow outbound traffic to the outbound IP addresses for managed connectors.

 Connectors provide the connectivity capabilities in Azure Logic Apps and offer an abstraction on top of APIs that are usually owned by the underlying SaaS system. For example, services such as SharePoint are built using an API-first approach where APIs provide functionality to the service for end users, but the same functionality is exposed for other systems to call through an API. To simplify calling these APIs, connectors use metadata to describe the messaging contract so that developers know what data is expected in the request and in the response.

   Stateless workflows can use only [*push* triggers](../connectors/introduction.md#triggers) where you don't specify a schedule for running for your workflow. These webhook-based triggers wait for an event to happen or data to become available. For example, the Recurrence trigger is available only for stateful workflows. To start your workflow, select a push trigger such as the Request, Event Hubs, or Service Bus trigger. Although you can enable managed connectors for stateless workflows, the connector gallery doesn't show any managed connector [*polling* triggers](../connectors/introduction.md#triggers) for you to add.
