Hi - is there a way in AWX to trigger a job execution on demand i.e. when an event comes in, it can run a specific playbook?

Web hook integration only works for repo update events - looking for something more generic here.

Thanks!

I’m struggling a bit with this myself, but I think the answer for you is going to be “Create an AWX app/token + use the API’s Job Template launch url as the webhook”
