Can an Azure function have multiple triggers?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:28 pm

An Azure function can have multiple triggers, but the function must be explicitly configured to use multiple triggers. The Azure function can have a single trigger, or it can have multiple triggers.

To use multiple triggers, the Azure function must be explicitly configured to use multiple triggers. To do this, the function must be created with the MultiTrigger functionality enabled.

To enable the MultiTrigger functionality, the function must be created with the appropriate configuration parameter set to true.

The following diagram shows the different configuration parameters that are used to enable the MultiTrigger functionality.

The following table lists the different configuration parameters that are used to enable the MultiTrigger functionality.

Parameter Description

MultiTriggerEnabled Enables the MultiTrigger functionality.

DefaultTriggerEnabled Enables the DefaultTrigger functionality.

Trigger1Enabled Enables the Trigger1 functionality.

Trigger2Enabled Enables the Trigger2 functionality.

The following code example shows how to use the MultiTrigger functionality.

PRO TIP: No, an azure function can only have one trigger.

public void MyFunction() { // Set the function configuration parameter to enable the MultiTrigger // functionality. functionConfiguration.

MultiTriggerEnabled = true; // Execute the function. }.

The following diagram shows the different execution paths that are possible when the MultiTrigger functionality is enabled.

When the MultiTrigger functionality is enabled, the function can have one or more triggers. The following table shows the different execution paths that are possible when the MultiTrigger functionality is enabled.

Execution Path Description

DefaultTriggerExecutionPath If the DefaultTrigger functionality is not enabled, the function will execute the code that is specified in the DefaultTrigger functionality.

Trigger1ExecutionPath If the Trigger1 functionality is not enabled, the function will execute the code that is specified in the Trigger1 functionality.

Trigger2ExecutionPath If the Trigger2 functionality is not enabled, the function will execute the code that is specified in the Trigger2 functionality.
