We create a trigger for our new Function and make an API call to it from our Static Web App.

Great video, you do a lot of work out of VSC which is great, as a newbie, I am doing a lot in the Azure UI. What I am currently stuck on is understanding does my Static Web App use its own functions for any function calls, as I cannot find function settings within the web app screen. I have built many Azure Functions before, but that is in its own area of Azure, do I have to link these together and essentially need to configure my web app to talk to my separate function?
