Hello @NGaur-3476

Within the Runbook editor, you can simply select the runbook and add it to the canvas to it runs as an inline script. (Note: this method isn't supported in PowerShell 7.1)

Alternatively, you can use the cmdlet Start-AzAutomationRunbook to run your runbooks from the same or different automation accounts.

Which ever method works for you, make sure you check out the examples and full details here. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-child-runbooks

I hope this helps provide you with the information you need. If it does, please make sure to mark the question as answered so it helps other people in future.

@Alistair Ross Thank you for the response. I have a requirement where i have a function written in powershell script , this function is being utilized in multiple runbooks(for same automation account). I am trying to create a separate runbook for this powershell function .and i want to call this runbook in those multiple runbooks whenever i want to use the function.

Is there any recommended way.
generally if you want to call a function we can call like below.
. .\Test-FunctionDefinition.ps1

but i want to understand how to call this powershell function( added as azure automation runbook) in existing runbooks within azure automation account.
