We have a Website where we would like to integrate a stand alone Logic App Designer for users to be able to create workflows visually and have the designer auto generate the JSON.
In the back end we intend to deploy the Workflows using the generated JSON to the required azure resource groups.
We DO not want users to directly access Azure Portal or have to use Visual Studio.
How can we accomplish this?
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! Thanks for posting the question.
Currently it is not possible to integrate the LogicApp designer capability in another website. The currently avaialable mode for LogicApp designing are shown below. Refer: Quickstarts Create logic apps
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you for the response!!
Is there a time frame as to when we would be able to integrate LogicApp designer capability in another website?
Hi Logic Apps Team @MSFT,
I am not sure the reasons behind Logic App Designer codebase not being released as OSS for community to contribute and be able to integrate with in Websites.
I do not see any point reinvent the wheel especially when MSFT comes back releasing tools as OSS when community starts releasing OSS version.
I am puzzled as to what is so proprietary about Logic App Designer tool. If the intention is to increase Azure consumption then, why are the tools that enable the consumption kept soo close to the chest rather than being more open?
@praveenravela-9450, I am sorry for the unpleasant experience you are having as this feature is not yet available. There was a similar discussion on this feature few years back on the following link.

Use case:
We have business specific website where we would like to integrate a stand-alone Logic App Designer for users to be able to create workflows visually and have the designer auto generate the JSON.
We have the following requirements:
We do NOT want users to directly access Azure Portal or use Visual Studio or any developer tools.
Users should be able to visually design the workflows and be able to view past runs for troubleshooting.
Visual designer to auto generate the JSON. Website backend would deploy onto Azure.
Visual designer should be able to display the existing workflows based on the JSON data for users to be able to modify.
Visual designer should be able to display custom functions / custom connectors based on a template.
Can you please let me know how we can accomplish it?
@praveenravela-9450, I apologize for the delayed response. I am awaiting response from the team and will get back to you with an update as soon as I have it.
@praveenravela-9450, I got an update from LogicApps team that - it is not possible to embed LogicApps Visual Designer in custom webApps as of now and at this time we can't guarantee that it will ever be possible.
