Start an Automation Runbook with Parameters from a Power App Button

[AndrewX]

I have the following code for a Button OnSelect function.  The Azure Automation Runbook has 3 required paramters with matching names to the record below.

When i click the button, the automation runbook fails because "Cannot process command because of one or more missing mandatory parameters:"

Any idea how to pass parameters to a runbook in a PowerApp.  PS.  I want to do this directly in a PowerApp button, NOT trigger a Flow AND THEN trigger a Runbook.

Set(AZAutomation,AzureAutomation.CreateJob(
    "nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn",
    "nnnn",
    "nnnn",
    {
        runbookName:"MailboxManagement",
        wait: true,
        body: JSON(
            {
                param1: ComboBox1.Selected.UserPrincipalName,
                param2: ComboBox2.Selected.UserPrincipalName,
                param3: DropDown1.SelectedText.Value
            }
        )
    }
))

@AndrewX hey, did you ever manage to solve this by any chance? Thanks

@AndrewX also interested to know if you ever got this working. I have the same requirement. Thanks.

In the end, calling AZ Automation directly from the AZ Automation Power App Connector did not work, instead you can do the following.

1. Use a flow

 2. Create a Custom Connector and use that (Recommended)

 or option 3. Which is what I have done, I  use Azure Functions and a Custom Connector

If anyone comes across this I was able to get this working. This post had the closest working example I could find. I added in properties: { } and the parameter was passed in as an 'UntypedObject'... ParseJSON(JSON({ param1: "SomeText" }))

Set(AZAutomation,AzureAutomation.CreateJob(
"nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn",
"nnnn",
"nnnn",
{
runbookName:"WorkingRunbook",
wait: false,
properties: {
parameters: ParseJSON(JSON({ param1: "SomeText" })),
runOn: ""
}
}
))
