How do I write an azure function to trigger a azure devops pipeline? Is this even possible?

Question

I'm trying to set up an Azure function that can trigger a Azure devops build pipeline. But I'm not sure on how to proceed with this and if it's even possible to do so.

I already have a build pipeline ready to be used but the conventional triggers that are already provided by Azure devops cannot be used. I can't disclose the reason but I need to trigger it using an Azure function. Any help regarding this would be really helpful.

Thanks.

You can simply use the REST APIs of Azure DevOps and call those from your function. See here: API for automating Azure DevOps Pipelines?
