12 | 12 | # About connectors in Azure Logic Apps |
13 | 13 |
|
14 | 14 | 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). |

| 18 | +## 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). |

28 | 30 | ### Triggers |
29 | 31 |
|
30 | 32 | 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. |
