Question

I have 5 parameters {[string]$VMName, [string]$ResourceGroupName, [string]$UserName, [string]$Paswd, [string]$UserDirectory, [string]$RequestType} in my runbook code what will be Webhookdata input parameter(json) syntax in Azure ?

Answer 1

if you want to pass Json object to the runbook you need to follow the below steps :

1. You need to create a JSON file that contains all parameters & save it as test.json file.

    {
         "VMName" : "",
         "ResourceGroupName" : "",
         "UserName" : "",
         "Paswd" : "",
         "UserDirectory" : "",
         "RequestType" : ""
    }   
   

2. convert the JSON code to a string

   $json = (Get-content -path 'JsonPath\test.json' -Raw) | Out-string

3. Convert the string to a PowerShell object before passing it to the runbook.

   $JsonParams = @{"json"=$json}

4. Create a hash table for the parameters

$RBParams = @{
             AutomationAccountName = '<AutomationAccountName'
             ResourceGroupName = '<resourcegroup_name>'
             Name = 'Test-Json'
             Parameters = $JsonParams
        }

5. Start the run book

 $job = Start-AzAutomationRunbook @RBParams
