This log function is a wrapper for a Try Catch

Whatever you put within the ScriptBlock will run and if it gives you an error.
You will then receive the error message both in the Log file and in the CLI.

Invoke-TryCatchLog -InfoLog "Retrieving users from Graph API" -LogToFile $True -ScriptBlock {
    Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -Uri "GraphAPIEndPoint" -Headers $graphAuthenticationHeader
}
