Using Terraform with azapi_resource Provider I'm Unable to Create a Slack Connection Returns "ApiNotFound"

I'm attempting to convert an ARM template to Terraform that starts of by creating a Microsoft.Web/connections resource to Slack. I keep running into an issue that has me stumped. Using the following Terraform:

provider "azurerm" {
  features {}
}

provider "azapi" {

}

locals {
    name = "slack-notification-test"
    resource_location = "South Central US"
    logic_app_sku = "Standard"
    resource_group_name = "deleteme"
    slack_channel_name = "critical-alerts"
  
}

data "azurerm_subscription" "current" { }

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "group" {
    name = local.resource_group_name
    location = local.resource_location
}


resource "azapi_resource" "slackIntegrationAccount" {
    type = "Microsoft.Logic/integrationAccounts@2016-06-01"
    name = "${local.name}-slackIntegration"
    parent_id = azurerm_resource_group.group.id
    location = local.resource_location
    body = jsonencode({
            "sku": {
                "name": "Free"
            },
            "properties": {
                "state": "Enabled"
            }
    })
}

resource "azapi_resource" "slackConnection" {
    type = "Microsoft.Web/connections@2016-06-01"
    name = "${local.name}-slackConnection"
    parent_id = azurerm_resource_group.group.id
    location = local.resource_location
    body = jsonencode({
            "properties": {
                "displayName": "Slack",
                "statuses": [
                    {
                        "status": "Connected"
                    }
                ],
                "customParameterValues": {},
                "nonSecretParameterValues": {},
                "createdTime": "2022-09-20T17:10:26.9106346Z",
                "changedTime": "2022-09-20T17:10:37.870701Z",
                "api": {
                    "name": "${local.name}-slackConnection",
                    "displayName": "Slack",
                    "description": "Slack is a team communication tool, that brings together all of your team communications in one place, instantly searchable and available wherever you go.",
                    "iconUri": "https://connectoricons-prod.azureedge.net/releases/v1.0.1582/1.0.1582.2855/${local.name}-slackConnection/icon.png"
                    "brandColor": "#78D4B6",
                    "id": "/subscriptions/${data.azurerm_subscription.current.subscription_id}/providers/Microsoft.Web/locations/${local.resource_location}/managedApis/${local.name}-slackConnection"
                    "type": "Microsoft.Web/locations/managedApis"
                },
                "testLinks": [
                    {
                        "requestUri": "https://management.azure.com:443/subscriptions/${data.azurerm_subscription.current.subscription_id}/resourceGroups/${local.resource_location}/providers/Microsoft.Web/connections/${local.name}-slackConnection/extensions/proxy/conversations.list?api-version=2016-06-01"
                        "method": "get"
                    }
                ]
            }
    })
}

I get the error "ApiNotFound" in the output, and the resource group and integration account are created but that is it.

Solution

I checked with following with following code:

main.tf:

resource "azapi_resource" "slackIntegrationAccount" {
    type = "Microsoft.Logic/integrationAccounts@2016-06-01"
    name = "kavya-slackIntegration"
    parent_id = data.azurerm_resource_group.example.id
    location =  data.azurerm_resource_group.example.location
    body = jsonencode({
            "sku": {
                "name": "Free"
            },
            "properties": {
                "state": "Enabled"
            }
    })
}

resource "azapi_resource" "slackConnection" {
    type = "Microsoft.Web/connections@2016-06-01"
    name = "kavya-slackConnection"
    parent_id = data.azurerm_resource_group.example.id
    location =  data.azurerm_resource_group.example.location
    body = jsonencode({
            "properties": {
                "displayName": "Slack",
                "statuses": [
                    {
                        "status": "Connected"
                    }
                ],
                "customParameterValues": {},
                "nonSecretParameterValues": {},
                "createdTime": "2022-09-20T17:10:26.9106346Z",
                "changedTime": "2022-09-20T17:10:37.870701Z",
                "api": {
                    "name": "kavya-slackConnection",
                    "displayName": "Slack",
                    "description": "Slack is a team communication tool, that brings together all of your team communications in one place, instantly searchable and available wherever you go.",
                    "iconUri": "https://connectoricons-prod.azureedge.net/releases/v1.0.1582/1.0.1582.2855/kavya-slackConnection/icon.png"
                    "brandColor": "#78D4B6",
                    "id": "/subscriptions/${data.azurerm_subscription.current.subscription_id}/providers/Microsoft.Web/locations/${data.azurerm_resource_group.example.location}/managedApis/kavya-slackConnection"
                    "type": "Microsoft.Web/locations/managedApis"
                },
                "testLinks": [
                    {
                        "requestUri": "https://management.azure.com:443/subscriptions/${data.azurerm_subscription.current.subscription_id}/resourceGroups/${data.azurerm_resource_group.example.location}/providers/Microsoft.Web/connections/kavya-slackConnection/extensions/proxy/conversations.list?api-version=2016-06-01"
                        "method": "get"
                    }
                ]
            }
    })
}

I received the error

When you define a custom API connection in Terraform, it seems it is not actually creating the API connection in Azure.

one may need to create the custom API connection resource in Azure manually by using Azure portal documentation, or programmatically using PowerShell or Azure CLI.

In my case I created api connection using resource "azurerm_api_connection":

With the below ARM template , tried to create arm template deployment in terraform:

example :

data "azurerm_managed_api" "example" {
  name     = "servicebus"
  location = data.azurerm_resource_group.example.location
}

resource "azurerm_servicebus_namespace" "example" {
  name                = "acctestsbn-conn-example"
  location            = data.azurerm_resource_group.example.location
  resource_group_name = data.azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  sku                 = "Basic"
}

resource "azurerm_api_connection" "example" {
  name                = "kavya-slackConnection"
  resource_group_name = data.azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  managed_api_id      = data.azurerm_managed_api.example.id
  display_name        = "kavya-slackConnection"

  parameter_values = {
    connectionString = azurerm_servicebus_namespace.example.default_primary_connection_string
  }

  tags = {
    Hello = "World"
  }

  lifecycle {
    
    ignore_changes = [parameter_values]
  }
}

Here I included "kind": "V1", set "connectionState": "Enabled",

snippet:

"kind": "V1",
  "properties": {
        "displayName": "kavya-slackConnection",
        "authenticatedUser": {},
        "overallStatus": "Connected",
        "statuses": [
            {
                "status": "Connected"
            }
        ],
        "connectionState": "Enabled",
