Include a section about how to run an Azure Function on-demand via the Azure Portal

[rigdern]

The Azure Portal has a "Code + Test" page that enables you to run Azure Functions on-demand. It would be helpful to include a section about that on this doc page.

Hi @rigdern Thanks for reaching out. We will review and update as appropriate.

@rigdern This is alredy mentioned in these public docs :

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-create-scheduled-function#test-the-function

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-create-storage-blob-triggered-function#test-the-function

This is also there for this mentioned doc under the highlight section.

I don't think there is a doc change required at this moment. For now will proceed to close this thread. If there are further questions regarding this matter, please tag me in your reply. We will gladly continue the discussion and we will reopen the issue.

@DixitArora-MSFT I believe this issue should be reopened. My suggestion is about the doc page Manually run a non HTTP-triggered Azure Functions. I retitled my issue to clarify my suggestion.

My suggestion is to describe how to run an Azure Function on-demand via the Azure Portal. This is very useful for non HTTP-triggered Azure Functions. This is how you do it:

• Go to the "Code + Test" page in the Azure Portal
• Click the "Test" button

This doc page (Manually run a non HTTP-triggered Azure Functions) currently only describes how to run an Azure Function on-demand via Postman.

@rigdern I have assigned this to content author for further review and update as appropriate.

@rigdern this article isn't the correct place to document the Test/Run functionality in the Azure portal. However, I'm adding a note that this procedure is equivalent to using that UI tool in the portal. Thanks so much for your suggestion. #please-close
