How can I trigger an Azure Storage Mover on a schedule?

I'm trying to figure out a way to trigger an Azure Storage Mover from another Azure service so that it executes every hour. I've been experimenting with Azure Data Factory and using a Web activity to send a POST request to start the job, but I keep getting a generic 500 error. Interestingly, I can run a GET request that successfully reaches the Job Definition. I also have a PowerShell command that works in the CLI to start the job, but when I tried to integrate it into an Azure runbook, things went wrong. Has anyone found a reliable way to automate this process?

Yeah, I've encountered issues when executing scripts through runbooks before. It's worth testing to see if your PowerShell runs smoothly directly from a VM.

Have you tried running your PowerShell script from a Virtual Machine? Sometimes it works better in that environment.
