Connect Azure Email Communication Service to Azure Communication Service using Terraform

I'm trying to set up new Azure resources, Azure Email Communication Service(AECS) and Azure Communication Service(ACS). Is there a way to connect AECS to ACS only using Terraform?

I want to do this https://mailtrap.io/blog/azure-send-email/ not using Azure UI, programatically on Terraform.

I also want to set up custom domain and get verified for my email services using terraform. Is it possible?

Thanks!

I searched online, but didn't find any resource.

Solution

  • To connect Azure Email Communication Service to Azure Communication Service, there is no direct service provider registered for it. Instead, you can use azapi_update_resource as detailed below.

    Firstly, I have created a communication service and an email communication service with terraform and referenced them in the azapi_update_resource with below configuration.

    terraform {
  required_providers {
    azapi = {
      source = "Azure/azapi"
      version = "1.13.1"
    }
  }
}
provider "azapi" {}
provider "azurerm"{
features{}
}
resource "azurerm_communication_service" "example" {
  name                = "jahcomm"
  resource_group_name = data.azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  data_location       = "United States"
}
resource "azurerm_email_communication_service" "example" {
  name                = "jah-emailcommunicationservice"
  resource_group_name = data.azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  data_location       = "United States"
}

    Communication service and an email service has been deployed.

    Now I have used azapi_update_resource to link the services with a domain as shown below.

    resource "azapi_update_resource" "update" {
  type      = "Microsoft.Communication/communicationServices@2022-07-01-preview"
  resource_id = data.azurerm_communication_service.example.id

  body = jsonencode({
    properties = {
      linkedDomains = [
        "/subscriptions/xxxx/resourceGroups/xxxx/providers/Microsoft.Communication/EmailServices/jah-emailcommunicationservice/domains/AzureManagedDomain"
      ]    
    }
  })
}

    Deployment succeeded:
