+## Trigger a pipeline with a token
+
+Trigger a pipeline by using a pipeline [trigger token](../ci/triggers/index.md#create-a-trigger-token)
+or a [CI/CD job token](../ci/jobs/ci_job_token.md) for authentication.
+
+With a CI/CD job token, the [triggered pipeline is a multi-project pipeline](../ci/jobs/ci_job_token.md#trigger-a-multi-project-pipeline-by-using-a-cicd-job-token).
+The job that authenticates the request becomes associated with the upstream pipeline,
+which is visible on the [pipeline graph](../ci/pipelines/multi_project_pipelines.md#multi-project-pipeline-visualization).
+
+If you use a trigger token in a job, the job is not associated with the upstream pipeline.
