`Start-AzAutomationRunbook` returns a job object that you can use to track status once the runbook is started. You can then use this job object with [Get-AzAutomationJob](/powershell/module/Az.Automation/Get-AzAutomationJob) to determine the status of the job and [Get-AzAutomationJobOutput](/powershell/module/az.automation/get-azautomationjoboutput) to retrieve its output. The following example starts a runbook called **Test-Runbook**, waits until it has completed, and then displays its output.

If the runbook requires parameters, then you must provide them as a [hashtable](/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_hash_tables). The key of the hashtable must match the parameter name and the value is the parameter value. The following example shows how to start a runbook with two string parameters named FirstName and LastName, an integer named RepeatCount, and a boolean parameter named Show. For more information on parameters, see [Runbook Parameters](#work-with-runbook-parameters).
