Can we pass model data to web job from API and start the web job on demand from API.

SuryaKanta Nayak 121

Hi Expert,

I have a web job developed as console application and deployed to azure as triggered web job.

Now I want to trigger that web job from API and pass the model data to web job to process it.

Note - This model contains list of data.

So my question is here can we call the web job from API and can we pass the model to web job ?

If we can do it, then any reference how we need to design it and pass the model.

Please suggest.

Thank You.

typically this would be done with a job queue

That is correct, but in my case as I already have web job developed, so thinking instead of creating queue can we pass the model parameter or not.

While searching over internet I found below article which says that we can call the web job from API but for passing model still I'm quite unsure.

Let me know if you have any other thought on this.

Thanks for your quick response.

with the sample code, you are calling the scheduler to run the job. the scheduler does not pass data. to pass data, you need an event driven job, and pick a binding:
