http://your-jenkins-server:8080/job/SOME_JOB/build?token=TOKEN_STRING Or http://your-jenkins-server:8080/job/SOME_JOB/buildWithParameters?token=TOKEN_STRING&branch=foo&other_param=bar if your build is parameterized. -- IRC: autojack Twitter: literatesavant My dev productivity blog: http://holisticqa.com On Tuesday, October 29, 2013 3:05:30 AM UTC-7, Glenn Halstead wrote: > > Hi Folks, > > I want to have a hyperlink in Excel that will build a Jenkins job.
