Create your own Microsoft Intune monitoring solution with Logic Apps

Do you want to get a notification when an Autopilot object doesn’t have a deployment profile assigned? Did you ever miss a new Intune service health message when you were already troubleshooting the issue for hours? Or did you ever run out of Microsoft Intune licenses without knowing it?
