Invoking a Pipeline through a Triggered Task
The SnapLogic Platform offers various ways to run Tasks. Because Triggered Tasks are a convenient way to give API consumers a URL to invoke a Pipeline without actually granting them access to the SnapLogic Platform, you should consider how and where the Task is executed.

The cloud URL for a Triggered Task running on a Groundplex does not support asynchronous Pipeline execution. |
You can invoke a Triggered Task using one of the following methods.
...
In Manager, navigate to the target Task, and click
to display the dropdown list, then click Details. 
open the context menu:
- Click Details.
Click Execute for the URL to run the Pipeline (you may be prompted to log in).

In your browser window, copy and paste the URL generated for the target Task.
Info title Authentication The external URL created for a task requires you to be authenticated with the SnapLogic servers. When using a web browser to access the URL, you might not have to provide credentials since you might already be logged into the Designer. Using other methods to request the Task URL requires you to provide credentials using HTTP Basic Authentication.
- Alternatively, you can run Tasks from a CLI using Curl commands.

If your account is locked or your password expired, you can still execute Triggered Tasks; however, you cannot invoke SnapLogic Public APIs, and your Scheduled Tasks will fail to execute. |
