Create a remote Jenkins build trigger in three stepsCreate a Jenkins build job and enable the Trigger builds remotely checkbox. Provide an authentication token; This can be any text string of your choice. Invoke the Jenkins build URL to remotely trigger the build job.

Check out the Submitting jobs section.
In your job configuration you setup a token and then create a POST request to JENKINS_URL/job/JOBNAME/build?token=TOKEN. That's probably the most basic usage.
Jenkins has support for parameterized build as well.
So, if you want to pass parameters for configurable build generation, you can pass them by posting it while invoking Jenkins build request with http://YOURHOST/jenkins/job/PROJECTNAME/buildWithParameters.
Aha, I found it in the documentation. So simple:
http://YOURHOST/jenkins/job/PROJECTNAME/build
I needed to add parameters and I wanted to do it over https. It took me a while but the following worked for me:
curl --request POST --url 'https://HOST_NAME/job/JOB_NAME/buildWithParameters?token=TOKEN' --header 'cache-control: no-cache' --header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data 'name1=value1&name2=value2'
