I've a logic app, let's name it as 'LA1' having HTTP trigger. This logic app can accept multiple request types (see Request 1 and Request 2 below) and can call respective nested logic apps based on request fields -

Request 1 -

{

"Format":"F1",

"Time":"T1"

}

Request 2 -

{

"Format":"F2",

"Time":"T2"

}

Now I wanted the above requests to be sent to LA1 on specific time intervals. Say Request 1 to be sent to LA1 every 1 minute and Request 2 to be sent to LA1 every 2 minutes. This was accomplished successfully using Scheduler Job Collections in Azure portal where I'd create couple of schedulers to run every 1 or 2 minutes and configure Request 1 and Request 2 in them.

Now that as Microsoft has retired Scheduler Job Collections I would like to know different alternate options in hand to send dynamic data (scheduled at specific intervals) to LA1 Logic app.

I understand that creating multiple logic apps with recurrence trigger and passing different JSON is one option however I would like to avoid the same as I would end up creating too many logic apps and in case of any changes this would need a deployment of Logic apps on every environment.

I would like to have something that's configurable (one time configuration on every environment) something that was catered perfectly by Scheduler Job Collections. Any thoughts/ideas are much appreciated!

Thanks!

One choice is Azure Function, it has Timer Trigger binding, it uses CRON expressions to define your schedule. Further more information you could refer to this doc: Timer trigger for Azure Functions.

Also Azure provides Azure Automation and the Azure Automation supports schedule a runbook. You could use powershell to manage schedules. Further more details you could check this doc: Scheduling a runbook in Azure Automation.

  • Thanks George! Azure Function with Timer binding is something that I had explored before however for my usecase we would need to create multiple Azure Functions. Azure runbook is something that I can try exploring, thanks for suggestions! – mitesh patel Oct 18 '19 at 13:26
  • @mitesh patel, any update now? Could you send it now? – George Chen Oct 23 '19 at 16:27
  • Unfortunately not yet George...I tried a bit using graphic runbook cmdlets but didn't find any cmdlet there with respect to azure logic apps....I didn't get much time to spend on it as I was caught up with some other issues...I'll spend some time on this in 2-3 days maybe and let you know in case it works...thanks for checking though! – mitesh patel Oct 23 '19 at 18:51
