# About connectors in Azure Logic Apps
1313

1414
When you build workflows using Azure Logic Apps, you can use *connectors* to help you quickly and easily access data, events, and resources in other apps, services, systems, protocols, and platforms - often without writing any code. A connector provides prebuilt operations that you can use as steps in your workflows. Azure Logic Apps provides hundreds of connectors that you can use. If no connector is available for the resource that you want to access, you can use the generic HTTP operation to communicate with the service, or you can [create a custom connector](#custom-connectors-and-apis).

## What are connectors?
19+
20+
Technically, many connectors provide a proxy or a wrapper around an API that the underlying service uses to communicate with Azure Logic Apps. This connector provides operations that you use in your workflows to perform tasks. An operation is available either as a *trigger* or *action* with properties you can configure. Some triggers and actions also require that you first [create and configure a connection](#connection-configuration) to the underlying service or system, for example, so that you can authenticate access to a user account. For more overview information, review [Connectors overview for Azure Logic Apps, Microsoft Power Automate, and Microsoft Power Apps](/connectors).

### Triggers

3032
A *trigger* specifies the event that starts the workflow and is always the first step in any workflow. Each trigger also follows a specific firing pattern that controls how the trigger monitors and responds to events. Usually, a trigger follows the *polling* pattern or *push* pattern, but sometimes, a trigger is available in both versions.

### Actions
4143

42-
An *action* is an operation that follows the trigger and performs some kind of task in your workflow. You can use multiple actions in your workflow. For example, you might start the workflow with a SQL trigger that detects new customer data in an SQL database. Following the trigger, your workflow can have a SQL action that gets the customer data. Following the SQL action, your workflow can have another action, not necessarily SQL, that processes the data.

### Recurrence for connection-based triggers

In recurring connection-based triggers, such as Office 365 Outlook, the schedule isn't the only driver that controls execution. The time zone only determines the initial start time. Subsequent runs depend on the recurrence schedule, the last trigger execution, and other factors that might cause run times to drift or produce unexpected behavior, for example:

# Delay running the next action in Azure Logic Apps

To have your logic app wait an amount of time before running the next action, you can add the built-in **Delay - Schedule** action before an action in your logic app's workflow. Or, you can add the built-in **Delay until - Schedule** action to wait until a specific date and time before running the next action. For more information about the built-in Schedule actions and triggers, see [Schedule and run recurring automated, tasks, and workflows with Azure Logic Apps](../logic-apps/concepts-schedule-automated-recurring-tasks-workflows.md).

To regularly run tasks, processes, or jobs that must handle data in contiguous chunks, you can start your logic app workflow with the **Sliding Window** trigger. You can set a date and time as well as a time zone for starting the workflow and a recurrence for repeating that workflow. If recurrences are missed for any reason, for example, due to disruptions or disabled workflows, this trigger processes those missed recurrences. For example, when synchronizing data between your database and backup storage, use the Sliding Window trigger so that the data gets synchronized without incurring gaps. For more information about the built-in Schedule triggers and actions, see [Schedule and run recurring automated, tasks, and workflows with Azure Logic Apps](../logic-apps/concepts-schedule-automated-recurring-tasks-workflows.md).

# Exchange RosettaNet messages for B2B enterprise integration in Azure Logic Apps

[RosettaNet](https://resources.gs1us.org) is a non-profit consortium that has established standard processes for sharing business information. These standards are commonly used for supply chain processes and are widespread in the semiconductor, electronics, and logistics industries. The RosettaNet consortium creates and maintains Partner Interface Processes (PIPs), which provide common business process definitions for all RosettaNet message exchanges. RosettaNet is based on XML and defines message guidelines, interfaces for business processes, and implementation frameworks for communication between companies.
1618

1719
In [Azure Logic Apps](../logic-apps/logic-apps-overview.md), the RosettaNet connector helps you create integration solutions that support RosettaNet standards. The connector is based on RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) version 2.0.01. RNIF is an open network application framework that enables business partners to collaboratively run RosettaNet PIPs. This framework defines the message structure, the need for acknowledgments, Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) encoding, and the digital signature.
