title: Programmatically Schedule one-time execution of Azure function
body: <p>I have looked through documentation for WebJobs, Functions and Logic Apps in Azure but I cannot find a way to schedule a one-time execution of a process through code. My users need to be able to schedule notifications to go out at a specific time in the future (usually within a few hours or a day from being scheduled). Everything I am reading on those processes is using CRON expressions which is not designed for one-time executions. I realize that I could schedule the job to run on intervals and check the database to see if the rest of the job needs to run, but I would like to avoid running the jobs unnecessarily if possible. Any help is appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>If it is relevant, I am using C#, ASP.NET MVC Core, App Services and a SQL database all hosted in Azure. My plan was to use Logic apps to check the database for a scheduled event and send notifications through Twilio, SendGrid, and iOS/Android push notifications.</p>
