Can I have separate settings.job for 2 instances of the same web job

I have multiple instances (one for each of my clients) of the same web job running in different app services.

The web jobs all come from the same code base which has one settings.job file in it, so each web job is triggered at the same time.

Is it possible to have one of my web jobs triggered at a different time to the others?

    In short, it's impossible.

    For scheduled WebJobs you define the schedule in the settings.job file. The settings.job file is a JSON blob that sits in the root of your WebJob project.

    When the trigger from settings.job is fired, the WebJob is executed and any functions you have defined can then be called to run.
