Section 2: Logic App Design

Section 2 takes a deeper dive into specific commonly used actions and explains how errors can be trapped and used to further refine the logic. We also discuss when it is good practice to split a complex logic app into multiple sequential logic apps and how best to share data between them. This eventually leads you to a point at which you will have a variety of logic apps that you will need to monitor over time to ensure that they are working as intended.

This part of the book comprises the following chapters:

Chapter 6, Working with the Common Data Service
Chapter 7, Working with Azure Functions
Chapter 8, Scoping with Try/Catch Error Handling
Chapter 9, Sharing Data with Other Logic Apps and APIs
Chapter 10, Monitoring ...
