How to setup a VSTS build definition to publish Azure Functions with this configuration?

Question

We are using VS 2017 on a single solution with multiple projects and we right mouse click and deploy 3 C# Azure Function to two different Azure Function apps with slots.

How do you set up the VSTS build definition to accomplish this on every check in?

We are using the DLLs and setting up the function.json this way. I don't know if we need to deploy differently based on this type of configuration.

"scriptFile": "..\\bin\\target.dll",
"entryPoint": "target.Application.Run"
