Hi Martin,

I think that there is no default way to detect if job is run manually in Execute method of your job. With Optimizely CMS new version, Jobs run without user context for both manual and scheduled mode. So you cannot check Identity or Current Http Context for it.

But you can get this value through job trigger option such as Scheduler, User or Restart in the job executor level as following, not in scheduled job level.

public class CustomScheduledJobExecutor : DefaultScheduledJobExecutor
{
    public CustomScheduledJobExecutor(SchedulerDB dataAccess, IScheduledJobRepository repository, IScheduledJobLogRepository logRepository, IScheduledJobFactory jobFactory, IEventRegistry eventRegistry, IScheduledJobEventsRaiser scheduledJobEvents, FailedScheduledJobRegistry failedJobRegistry, SchedulerOptions schedulerOptions, IBackgroundContextFactory backgroundContextFactory) : base(dataAccess, repository, logRepository, jobFactory, eventRegistry, scheduledJobEvents, failedJobRegistry, schedulerOptions, backgroundContextFactory)
    {
    }

    public override Task<JobExecutionResult> StartAsync(ScheduledJob job, JobExecutionOptions options, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        //Check if job is run by user
        if (options.Trigger == ScheduledJobTrigger.User)
        {
            //TODO: Add custom logic here
        }    
        return base.StartAsync(job, options, cancellationToken);
    }
}

You can try to pass this value into certain temporary storage for example if you want to check this value in Scheduled Job level or you can add your logic right here in Executor level if you could

Works like a charm, thanks a lot!
