Logic Apps Aviators Newsletter - February 2026 | Microsoft Community Hub

The February 2026 edition of the Logic Apps Aviators newsletter brings together community highlights, product updates, and practical insights for integration professionals working with Azure Logic Apps.

Ace Aviator of the Month: Camilla Bielk

This month's featured aviator is Camilla Bielk, a Solutions Architect at XLENT who brings extensive experience in integration across the entire lifecycle.

Camilla describes her role as working across the integration lifecycle—from understanding business needs and building new solutions to operations. Her background includes significant work with BizTalk and hybrid Azure-BizTalk environments, though she now focuses exclusively on Azure.

A typical day for Camilla involves syncing operational status with her team to ensure everything runs smoothly across Logic Apps, Service Bus, Functions, and API Management. She then moves into ongoing work that ranges from stakeholder meetings and designing new integration flows to C# development and maintenance of the existing landscape.

What motivates Camilla to stay active in the community is the openness to feedback and knowledge sharing from both community developers and the product team. She finds passing knowledge to new team members rewarding and emphasizes the importance of social skills in technology roles. Her advice to those entering STEM fields: "Your social skills are more valuable than you might think. Teamwork is everything, and understanding business needs—even from non-technical colleagues—is just as important as technology."

When asked about a magic wand feature for Logic Apps, Camilla highlighted better cost transparency—clearly showing which actions drive costs with visibility before production deployment, along with design-time guidance that warns about expensive operations and anti-patterns.

Product Group News

Introducing Unit Test Agent Profiles for Logic Apps & Data Maps

The product team has introduced focused unit test agent profiles that help Logic Apps Standard teams discover workflows and data maps, write reusable specifications, generate typed mocks/test data, and implement MSTest suites against the Automated Test SDK. This approach promotes spec-first testing, consistent artifacts, and reliable validations across scenarios including happy path, error handling, and boundaries.

The project demonstrates how GitHub Copilot custom agents and prompts can accelerate unit test authoring while enforcing constraints for maintainability in enterprise integrations.

Automated Test Framework - Missing Tests in Test Explorer

Logic Apps Standard tests may disappear from VS Code's Test Explorer due to MSTest version mismatches introduced by recent C# DevKit updates. The fix involves updating package references in the project (MSTest, Test SDK, and related dependencies) to supported versions. After adjusting packages and restarting VS Code, tests reappear and run as expected.

Upcoming Agentic Azure Logic Apps Workshops

Free workshops are being offered to introduce Agentic Business Processes in Azure Logic Apps, including MCP Server integrations and agent loop patterns. Sessions cover connecting the enterprise with MCP Servers from Copilot Studio and building agentic workflows in a day using Logic Apps (Standard). These events help practitioners explore agent tools, orchestration patterns, and practical scenarios for intelligent automation.

Community News

Enterprise AI ≠ Copilot

Al Ghoneim's post explores why rolling out Copilot is not an AI strategy. While Copilot is a finished SaaS product centered on Microsoft 365 experiences for individual productivity, Enterprise AI targets broader, end-to-end outcomes and agentic capabilities. The post highlights the shift from assistive tooling to systems that can coordinate tasks, reasoning, and integration across domains.

BizTalk Server and WinSCP Error: Could not load file or assembly 'WinSCPnet'

Sandro Pereira addresses a recurring issue where BizTalk Server deployments break due to WinSCP version mismatches introduced by cumulative updates. The post emphasizes the broader challenge of managing external dependencies across BizTalk versions and update levels, providing valuable insights for teams maintaining or upgrading BizTalk environments.

More on finding application registrations used by Logic Apps

Mikael Sand tackles the challenge of tracking down where application registrations are actually used in Azure, particularly when Logic Apps authenticate through custom HTTP actions. The post explores how Azure Resource Graph can surface hidden dependencies that don't show up in connector views, helping teams assess the real blast radius of credential changes.

MCP Servers in Azure Logic Apps Agent Loops (Step-by-Step)

Stephen W. Thomas demonstrates a new capability in Azure Logic App Agent Loops that lets you call both built-in Microsoft MCP servers and your own custom MCP servers. This abstraction enables better reusability across enterprise environments by moving tool logic out of Logic App Agent loops and into standalone Logic Apps exposed as MCP servers.

From Rigid Choreography to Intelligent Collaboration: Agentic Orchestration as the Evolution of SOA

Steef-Jan Wiggers explores how integration is evolving from carefully scripted flows to goal-driven problem solving. The piece examines why "agentic orchestration" resonates now and what it unlocks for real-world integration scenarios, positioning it as a natural evolution rather than disruption of traditional SOA patterns.

"Run with payload" in the new Logic Apps designer enforces JSON only

Sandro Pereira highlights a subtle design choice in the new Azure Logic Apps designer that changes how developers validate workflows with non-JSON payloads. This creates a gap between design-time testing and real execution for XML or other non-JSON payloads, revealing current limitations in the new designer's authoring experience.

MCP Servers in Azure Logic Apps Agent Loops (Step-by-Step)

Stephen W. Thomas provides a pragmatic path using Logic Apps Consumption and Agent Loop to build a stateful, tool-orchestrating agent with minimal infrastructure. The article highlights why pay-as-you-go agents can be ideal for experimentation, demos, and low-volume workloads, exploring the tradeoffs of this simplicity.

The newsletter concludes with updates on Azure BizTalk modernization, enterprise integration, and Logic Apps Standard developments, continuing to serve as a valuable resource for the integration community.
