We also discussed how to implement exception handling using scope in Logic Apps.

Finally, we covered the hybrid integration scenario using On-premise data gateway, where Logic App connects securely to on-premise SQL server to insert records in database tables. We also created a nested workflow where once Logic App calls another to achieve a composite service-type workflow.

In the next chapter, we will introduce SaaS connectivity...
