# 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.

{% embed url="<https://files.gitbook.com/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FeyfSRRmLEurvKZJcO0Tg%2Fuploads%2Fo8OKvxizuGBYihuEOnyG%2FCopy%20execution%20url.mp4?alt=media&token=d181d9f0-66fa-4ed4-b36b-be7cd413caeb>" %}

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