Azure Logic Apps
Logic App is a cloud-based service. It allows us to react to an event in one service (such as SharePoint online) and do something with the data from that event into another service (such as Twitter). It makes it practical and simple for business processes. The users builds workflows that automatically do some business tasks and processes across applications and services. We can connect our business-critical apps and services with Azure Logic Apps, automating workflows without writing a single line of code.

Why we Connect Facebook and Twitter
Posting to Facebook and Twitter can be an important portion of our daily business and personal lives, but having to manage two different social media accounts and posting the same information on both can become quite irritating and time-consuming. There is a way to save time and increase productivity with these two sites by allowing your Facebook posts to automatically post on your Twitter account! This makes your social media life much easier to manage because you only need to log into one social media account while being able to post to both simultaneously. It is fairly quick and easy to set up the auto post of your Facebook posts to Twitter.
We can Keep our Twitter and Facebook posts in sync with each other. It automatically tweets every time you post to your Facebook wall. You can link your profile or Page to your Twitter account so that you can share your Facebook posts on Twitter.
