How to run a Google Cloud Build trigger via cli / rest api / cloud functions?

Question

Is there such an option? My use case would be running a trigger for a production build (deploys to production). Ideally, that trigger doesn\'t need to listen to any change since

This now seems to be possible via API:

https://cloud.google.com/cloud-build/docs/api/reference/rest/v1/projects.triggers/run

request.json:

{
  "projectId": "*****",
  "commitSha": "************"
}

curl request (with using a gcloud command):

PROJECT_ID="********" TRIGGER_ID="*******************"; curl -X POST -T request.json -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud config config-helper \
    --format='value(credential.access_token)')" \
    https://cloudbuild.googleapis.com/v1/projects/"$PROJECT_ID"/triggers/"$TRIGGER_ID":run
