How to add web hook on specific build in TeamCity

Question

How to trigger build and add web hook on it via REST API? Or simply, how to add web hook on build by ID via API? I viewed all the TC REST documentation but didn't find the answer.

Thank you.

There is documentation for triggering a build via REST API since TeamCity 8.1 here. Basically, you need to sent a POST request to http://[server]/httpAuth/app/rest/buildQueue with the build node as the content. There are build node examples in the documentation. If you're using an earlier version of TeamCity, you can trigger a build via script by following the instructions here.

I haven't worked with it, but there's a plugin, tcWebHookTrigger, that you can use to make working with TeamCity's inbound API calls easier here and it has documentation that should be able to get you started.
