Description:

We have a api-job job in our Workflow. We have decided we only ever want to run our api-job job when we pass a certain parameter via an API call.

Goals:

• Create a personal api token
• Build a curl command
• Without modifying the config.yml, run api-job
• Share link to green Workflow.

Help:
