PowerShell has a problem with it's extra output streams. The actual content of the Warning, Verbose, Debug, Information, and even Error streams doesn't have the label text like "WARNING: " or "VERBOSE: " that we're used to seeing in the host. That label is actually added by the host (hopefully, in a culture-aware way). However, this means that when you attempt to redirect all of this output, for example by redirecting all output streams to stdout, with *>&1, you don't get labels on them at all, which is confusing, and can make the output difficult to comprehend.

Take for example a function that writes in a loop:

if ($i % 5 -eq 0) {
    Write-Output $i
} else {
    Write-Verbose $i
}

Step By Step: Implement a Serverless Azure Logic App Contact Form

Pre-requisites

1. An Azure Account, there are free and paid options
2. A SendGrid account, there are free trial, free and paid options
3. Code from this post!
4. Approximately X time to implement and test
5. Optional: A custom domain for the contact form html and Azure function Application Program Interface (API)

**Securing your Azure and Sendgrid accounts with Two Factor Authentication (2FA) is recommended. 2FA will not have an effect on how the Azure function or Sendgrid API works.
