How to trigger an Azure Function with a TimerTrigger during development

So you have just created an Azure Function App with a TimerTrigger and you want to debug it, but you do not want have to change the schedule every time.

You have two options:

1. You can trigger the function using a HTTP POST
   Make sure you supply an empty body
   URL to use: http://localhost:7071/admin/functions/<your function name>
2. Add "RunOnStartup= true" to your function method signature
