Using the visual designer in Logic Apps, you can specify the Run After property. Let’s say you have multiple branches and an action that should run after one of the branches has succeeded. Note that if one of branches is successfully executed, the other branches are skipped. That’s why you need a run after property…
While you, as a Microsoft developer, are inclined to approach Azure from the opportunities side, it’s also worth looking at the limitations. I didn’t find a web source with a full list of limitations. That’s why I simply start by discussing two file size limitations here: The FTP connector trigger supports max 50 MB. I…
I came across an interesting NuGet package named CsvHelper. CsvHelper basically let’s you create a Csv file from a typed list. You can choose whether or not to include a header automatically. As an example, let’s say you access AFAS to get a list of users. private static async Task<List<ASB_Totara_User>> GetAfasUserAsync(Logging logging) { string take…
I had a logic app that started with a queue trigger followed by a ForEach statement. The Logic App run failed on the ForEach step with the following error message: ExpressionEvaluationFailed. The execution of template action ‘For_each’ failed: the result of the evaluation of ‘foreach’ expression ‘@triggerBody()?[‘QueueMessagesList’]?[‘QueueMessage’]’ is of type ‘Null’. The result must be…

Consumption Plan The consumption plan automatically allocates compute power when your code is running, scales out as necessary to handle…
When debatching a Json file with 5600 articles, I found out that using a looping construct in Logic Apps (like foreach or until) is very slow. I had to create a set of Json files with the number of articles equal to a configurable batch size. As an alternative to Logic App looping, I decided to…
I’m developing functions in Visual Studio instead of developing them in the Azure Portal. If you open the function in the Azure Portal you will receive the following message: Your app is currently in read-only mode because you have published a generated function.json. Changes made to function.json will not be honored by the Functions runtime.…
I have been searching quite some time how to set the Integration Account for a Logic App inside Visual Studio. Finally found a blog post on BizTalk Gurus that explained how you can get to the Logic App properties and change the Integration Account setting. Click anyplace in the white space of the Visual Studio Logic…
It can come in handy to download functions from the Azure Portal. Click on your function app and click button [Download app content]. If the download is not activated, go to Settings / Advanced / Content Settings / Popups / Allow (in Google Chrome). A file will be downloaded without a file extension. Manually add…
I was trying to use the Azure API Management connector in a Logic App, but I continued to get a Http 404 Resource Not Found error. I could call the very same API Management service via Postman. I could also use a Http action to call the API Management service. Question: why can’t I call…
