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

Answer 1

If you just want to create a function that you can invoke directly, you have two choices:

1. An HTTP trigger with a standard API endpoint
2. A pubsub trigger that you invoke by sending a message to a pubsub topic

The first is the more common approach, as you are effectively creating a web API that any client can call with an HTTP library of their choice.
