How to Construct Webhook URL?
While doing configurations for Build Triggers in the CI/CD tool, you can see the instruction given below the Authentication Token field to use the URL to trigger build remotely.

→ The following is an example of how to construct the Webhook URL for a normal project in Jenkins. The URL suggested in Jenkins during the configuration of Build Triggers: If your Jenkins instance URL is http://qtm-qa-jenkins.qmetry.com:8080 Then the URL to trigger the build will be - http://qtm-qa-jenkins.qmetry.com:8080/job/QTMCloud/build | → The following is an example of how to construct the Webhook URL for a project with parameters in Jenkins.

Authorization
To supply the Authorization header with the value Basic <auth>, perform the following steps:
Build a string of the form “username:<api_token>” using Jenkins credentials. Generate API Token in Jenkins from User Profile > Configure > API Token section.
Encode the string in Base64 format.
If the API Token was generated in Jenkins using the "admin" account, to encode the string in Base64 format, use the string format as admin:<API_Token>.
Your string should look like "admin:1185c84ee2447df322af5ced7597bbad6b" when you're encoding to Base64 format. The encoded string corresponds to:
YWRtaW46MTE4NWM4NGVlMjQ0N2RmMzIyYWY1Y2VkNzU5N2JiYWQ2Yg==.
Supply an "Authorization" header with the content "Basic " followed by the encoded string from Step 2.
For example, the string "admin" encodes to "YWRtaW46MTE4NWM4NGVlMjQ0N2RmMzIyYWY1Y2VkNzU5N2JiYWQ2Yg==" in base64. So the Basic <auth> value would be as follows.
Basic YWRtaW46MTE4NWM4NGVlMjQ0N2RmMzIyYWY1Y2VkNzU5N2JiYWQ2Yg==
