How to start an Azure runbook/webhook using Microsoft.Azure.Management.Automation AutomationClient in C#?

Question

I am using the .NET SDK to build an application which will trigger Azure automation runbooks. I've tried to start the runbook using a webhook but I am unable to find the method that will start the webhook and return a job ID.

I am using the AutomationClient from the namespace:

Microsoft.Azure.Management.Automation Version: 3.8.0-preview.

I suggest you can use AutomationManagementClient instead. Here is an example:

    AutomationManagementClient client =
        new AutomationManagementClient(new CertificateCloudCredentials(subscriptionId, cert));

    // Create job create parameters
    JobCreateParameters jcParam = new JobCreateParameters
    {
        Properties = new JobCreateProperties
        {
            Runbook = new RunbookAssociationProperty
            {
                Name = runbookName
            },
            Parameters = null // optional parameters here
        }
    };

    // create runbook job. This gives back the Job
    Job job = automationManagementClient.Jobs.Create(automationAccountName, jcParam).Job;

   // then you can get the job id from the return Job object
