Hello everyone,

I have a followup for a talk I gave on Gitlab CI back in June.

I was asked a question on whether it's possible to trigger a CI job with 
an API call, and in fact it is.

There's an option available in Community Edition in Gitlab; it's located 
in Project Settings -> CI/CD -> Section Triggers

In that section Gitlab will let you create tokens that can be used to 
trigger pipelines.

Documentation on how to create and run triggers can be found here -- 
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/triggers/


Cheers,

Alex.
