# Remote Workflow Execution

Laminar allows you to trigger workflows via a unique API execution link. This enables seamless integration of Laminar workflows into your existing applications, scripts, or CI/CD pipelines.

You can find the execution URL in the workflow editor controls:

1. Locate textbox under <kbd>TRIGGER URL & SCHEDULES</kbd> at the top right of the editor
2. Click the copy button to copy the execution link.

Once you have the link, follow the API spec below to make your HTTP Request.
