Learn the basics of how to integrate two systems with Microsoft PowerAutomate and Azure Logic Apps in two easy steps.

Integrating two systems, or apps, involves transforming and converting data from one format to another. This process typically includes converting between formats such as JSON, XML, CSV, or plain text.

While these tasks can seem daunting, our Liquid Loom Generator and Connector make it effortless to handle intricate file format transformations and conversions.

Step by step instructions

  1. Launch the Liquid Loom Generator.
    This free tool will use AI to generate Liquid template code which will help you on your way to develop a low code Liquid template which will be used in the Liquid Loom Connector for either your Azure Logic App or your Microsoft PowerAutomate workflow.
    ​
    ​

  2. Add data input sample
    ​Copy a good sample of the input data you would like to transform and convert from
    and Paste it into the input data section.
    This can be either JSON, CSV, XML or a proprietary TEXT format.

    Tip: A good sample should cover at least two or three instances of your data. Eg. if it's an order, include two or three orders. If it's a product, then two or three products, and so on.
    ​

  3. Add desired output sample

    Click generate liquid button to open the popup and copy a good sample of the output data and paste it into the desired output data area.
    Hit the Generate Liquid and wait for a few seconds while the generator is working.

  4. Fine-tune Liquid template (optional)
    Check the 3. Data output section and see if the output is in the format you need it.
    If necessary, fine-tune the Liquid code in the middle section (2. Liquid code) until you are satisfied with the data output.
    Any alteration in the Liquid code (or data input for that matter) will immediately be reflected in the 3. Data output section.

  5. Copy the Liquid Template code

  6. Open Azure Logic App or Microsoft PowerAutomate workflow.
    ​

  7. Add the Weavo Liquid Loom Connector by searching for Weavo Liquid Loom.
    ​This is the part where the Liquid template code you have generated in the previous steps will be put into action.
    ​

  8. Choose the relevant conversion. In this example we are converting between two different JSON structures.
    ​

  9. Add the input source of your workflow.

    ​

  10. Paste the Liquid Code from the Liquid Generator from step 5 into the Liquid input field.
    ​

  11. Before saving the workflow, place the transformed data field in the relevant field in your workflow.
    ​

  12. Finally save the workflow before trying it out.

  13. Now you can test your workflow. In our example we have an http endpoint which we send the input data into and a http POST request where we send the transformed data.
    TIP: If you use Postman to call the "When a http request is received" you can use a HTTP Response instead of the HTTP POST request so you can see the transformed data immediately in the postman client.
