# Trigger deployment pipeline from external applications

EDITable lets you trigger pipeline deployments from external applications using an API endpoint. 

1. The first step is to create an API token. You can refer to [this section](https://docs.inforiver.com/editable/admin-portal-and-editable-console/admin-portal/settings/api-token) to learn more.
2. Copy this page link and the pipeline ID that you want to deploy.

3. You can trigger this deployment pipeline using the pipeline ID, and the generated [API token](https://docs.inforiver.com/editable/admin-portal-and-editable-console/admin-portal/settings/api-token) can be used for authorization. The image below demonstrates this using the Postman application.
