In my last article I talked about Azure Automation, a new feature to automate some tasks, but this system is nothing without a scheduler. So this is the procedure to create a new Schedule and link it with an existing Runbook.
First, make sure that the Runbook is published because is not allowed schedule a Draft Runbook. The second step is click on the section Schedule, as showed in figure 1.
Figure 1 – Schedule Form
Click on Link to a New Schedule, insert a name and choose the schedule time, as showed in figure 2. If the Runbook require some variables, you must insert them during the wizard.

Finish! Now your Runbook will be run when you have set the timing. You can also see the details when you want, as showed in figure 3.

Remember that you can link another Runbook to an existing Schedule (click on Link to an Existing Schedule), as showed in figure 4.
