Automation
Work 365 provides two types of automation mechanisms. On-demand automation is achieved through Work 365 Jobs whereas scheduled automation is achieved through Scheduled Jobs. A brief comparison between both is provided below.
| Work 365 Job | Scheduled Job | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | On-demand automation, such as sync a License Change Log or charge an invoice | Fixed interval-based automation such as invoice generation (once every 24hrs) or syncing subscriptions from Partner Center into Work 365 (once every 24hrs) |
| Available as a CRM Entity | Yes. The Work 365 Jobs entity is available and can be leveraged to invoke functionality through Power Automate or other means. | No. While an overview of the Scheduled Jobs are available via the Admin Hub, partners are not able to make changes or manually invoke this automation. |
