Connecting an Azure function to the outside world is very easy. In this section, we will handle data input to the Azure function via an HTTP request trigger. The reason for this is that you might want to amend the data or perform calculations before sending the data into the function for processing.

Follow these steps to learn how to send data to an Azure function:

1. First, create a logic app, as detailed in the previous chapters. I have called mine InputParamsLA.
