Some key features of the Logic App

Connectors: Logic Apps offer a range of connectors that allow you to interact with various services and systems such as Azure services, Office 365, Salesforce, Twitter, and more.

These connectors provide pre-built functionality, eliminating the need for custom code. With Logic Apps, you can easily integrate and interact with different services, simplifying your development process.

Workflow Designer: The visual designer of Logic Apps empowers you to create workflows by dragging and dropping elements.

You can arrange actions in a specific order, incorporate conditions, loop through data collections, and handle errors, giving you complete control over the workflow design process.

Steps to create a Logic App

By utilizing the Twitter connector, you can set up a workflow within a Logic App to monitor tweets that match specific criteria.

Whenever a new tweet is posted, meeting the specified criteria, the workflow will be triggered. Here’s an example of how you can create a Logic App to effectively monitor tweets:

• Type “logic app” in the search resource, services, and documents field, and select logic apps in the search options.

• Create a new Logic App in the Azure portal

Fill in the necessary details required to create the logic app

Click on the create button to finalize the creation

Wait for the Deployment to complete. To access the newly created logic app, click the go-to resource button

On the logic app page, go to Logic App Designer

In the Logic App Designer, the “When a new tweet is posted” trigger should be added in the “Common Triggers” section.

This trigger allows the Logic App to be activated whenever a new tweet is posted.

Authenticate your Twitter account by providing the necessary credentials. Sign in to Twitter developer account

From your Twitter Developer Account, you can obtain the key and secret.

We have set the trigger and action in the image below. In the parameter section on the left-hand side, we enter the text “President Tinubu.”

As a result, the system will export any tweet sent by a Twitter user that contains the keyword “President Tinubu” to a file for PowerBI Reports.

Summary

To create a tweet monitoring Logic App, connect to the Twitter service using the Twitter connector, add the “When a new tweet is posted” trigger, specify matching criteria, define desired actions, and save and enable the Logic App to begin monitoring and triggering actions for relevant tweets.
