Azure function app | Timer trigger run manually

Question

I have created function app with timer trigger and it is scheduled to run every 3 hours.
.
On productions env I should ALSO be able to run this timer trigger manually on demand.
What are the different ways to run timer trigger manually? Or do need to create duplicate function as httptrigger and then invoke url?
Please advise
